Directions & Lake History/Factoid
Directions: Follow signs 7 miles east from Saltsburg.
Factoid: An unusual endowment of cultural resources attract visitors to Conemaugh Dam. Adjacent to
the Dam Site Recreation Area, historical development is currently underway with the
construction of the Trail of Transportation History and the Tunnelview Historic Site.
The riverside trail follows the towpath that runs along the Main Line Canal that once
connected Philadelphia with Pittsburgh (1834 1854). Overlooks along the trail provide
views of the historical canal and railroad structures, a canal and tunnel and aqueduct
dating from 1830, two railroad tunnels and three stone arch railroad bridges. The
Conemaugh Dam Trail is a 3.3 mile recreational non-motorized hiking and biking trail
that follows portions of an abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad line that operated along the
corridor in the early 1900s and portions of the historic Pennsylvania Main Line Canal
that operated in the 1800s and is now registered on the National Register of Historic
places.
