About
The Safe Harbor Petroglyphs at Big and Little Indian Rock in the Susquehanna River are the largest collections of Native American rock art in the northeastern United States.
There are over 400 carved images of wildlife, animal tracks, and other designs. They are believed to have been created hundreds of years ago or more by Algonquin tribes.
The works of art are only accessible by boat and are best viewed when the river water levels are low. They were more exposed in the past, but after the completion of a couple of hydroelectric dams in the area in the early 1900s, they are now more difficult to see and access.
