Duncannon balances small-town ease with big-sky scenery at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers, where the Appalachian Trail crests nearby Hawk Rock for sweeping views. Commuters appreciate the straight shot to Harrisburg, while outdoor lovers find year-round hiking, paddling, and fishing right at the doorstep. The borough’s services are well organized through the Duncannon Borough, and its location in Perry County across from Dauphin County keeps regional amenities within easy reach.
Families are drawn to the Susquenita School District, known for strong academics, arts programs, and Blackhawks athletics. Weekend plans practically make themselves: trace the iconic footpath with guidance from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, launch a kayak where two rivers meet, or explore trails, a lake, and picnic groves at Little Buffalo State Park. Downtown, you’ll find historic architecture, locally owned eateries, and a friendly main street that still feels personal—plus a proud heritage shaped by river commerce and trail culture.
Housing options range from classic frame homes to hillside retreats with sunset views over the valley, and everyday needs are covered with convenient corridors to shopping, healthcare, and employment. Whether you’re moving in for the scenery, schools, or a shorter commute, Duncannon offers a practical lifestyle with a sense of place.
