Karta över Susquehanna med avrinningsområde (gult).
Susquehanna (eg. Susquehanna River) är den amerikanska delstaten Pennsylvanias längsta flod, 730 kilometer lång.
Den består av två huvudgrenar, varav den norra huvudgrenen kommer från New York, och den andra, västra grenen (West Branch Susquehanna River) kommer från västra Pennsylvania. Grenarna förenas i närheten av Northumberland, Pennsylvania. Största biflod efter West Branch är Juniata River. Därifrån rinner Susquehanna söderut och utmynnar i Chesapeake Bay.[1]
Susquehanna är USA:s 16:de längsta flod, men är den längsta på USA:s östkust (Mexikanska golfen ej inräknad).

The Susquehanna River, Asylum Township, Bradford County, as seen from the Marie Antoinette Lookout off of US Route 6 near Wyalusing in Pennsylvania. Visible from here is the French Azilum Historic Site, where some Revolution-fleeing French aristocrats settled in 1793. It was said that Marie Antoinette planned to settle in a house across the river from the lookout which was allegedly built for her. The marker reads: A settlement of French royalists, who fled the French Revolution in 1793, was established in the valley directly opposite this marker. It was laid out and settled under the direction of Viscount de Noailles and Marquis Antoine Omer Talon. It was hoped that Queen Marie Antoinette might here find safety. Marie Antoinette Lookout, Route 6, Wyalusing, PA.
