Lock Haven students walking by the Bell Tower

Visit Lock Haven

Built along the Susquehanna River overlooking signature Central Pennsylvanian shops and places to eat, we’re perfectly situated for you to find a new point of view or simply see things from a different perspective.

Friends stop for a quick photo while enjoying the levee walkway at Commonwealth University-Lock Haven, formerly Lock Haven University.

Feeling adventurous? Our levee riverwalk is a nice jog or fun bike ride steps from campus to Insta-worthy backdrops, especially in the fall.

And if you find yourself a little lost with your Haven crew, no worries, the campus bell tower is always within earshot … a landmark to guide you home through your first year to your last, a comfort you’ll certainly capture in photo under the neighboring Lock Haven archway on graduation day and each time you return as an alum.
