I live in NEPA and am in a similar situation as yourself mostly because of my age. A lot of places I used to fish have steep banks and falls are a real possibility.
The Susky can be a difficult place to fish from shore with changing water levels just like any other river. Some places like Fish Commission access areas are easily accessed, but the water for shore fishing can be too fast or shallow like Apple Tree Access, Wilkes Barre Access and Falls Access. Then again, access to another place that looks good can be private and posted.
The only place I've been able to find that's close is off of Route 92 between West Pittston and Apple Tree Access. It's just past a PPL power substation; a downhill left turn and a place to pull over on the right. It's then a few minute walk to the river. River height matters there too.
