Facility Overview
The parking area at 622 St George St, locally referenced alongside the student and residential community known as Casablanca, provides open-air surface parking in the heart of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Situated just steps from the Bucknell University campus perimeter and minutes from the historic downtown core, this paved surface location offers direct, street-level access without the complexities of multi-story ramps or underground parking structures. Because the lot is completely open to the sky with no low-hanging beams, clearance bars, or overhead deck restrictions, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of passenger vehicles, including compact cars, family crossovers, standard pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and service vans.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility features direct street-level vehicular ingress and egress along St. George Street between South 6th and South 7th Streets. Navigation is straightforward from major regional thoroughfares: it sits only a few blocks east of U.S. Route 15 (North Susquehanna Trail), the primary north-south artery connecting Lewisburg to Williamsport and Harrisburg, and just south of PA Route 45 (Market Street), which connects the borough across the Susquehanna River. While Lewisburg is largely pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly, regional bus connections operated by Susquehanna Trailways and local campus shuttle routes service the immediate Bucknell perimeter.
