Event comments

All walks start at the foot of the nearly 100-year-old Conowingo Dam. The area below the dam is excellent for bird-watching. At least 170 species of birds have been observed and recorded at the dam including large groups of bald eagles, herons, and vultures. All trails are out-and-back on the old Philadelphia Electric Rail Trail along the Susquehanna River, one of the oldest rivers in the world.
