Kiski-Conemaugh Water Trail
The Kiski-Conemaugh Water Trail Mapping Update Project was financed in part by the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, Environmental Stewardship Fund, under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Recreation and Conservation. The project was also funded by a generous grant from the Colcom Foundation, administered by the Kiskiminetas Watershed Association.
The project included:
- updating the printed water trail map and guide;
- creating new or updating existing river town maps to direct water trail users to communities’ points of interest and businesses and services;
- updating an interactive map to showcase historic images along the river that direct users to local historic museums and environmental stewardship messaging that direct users to watershed associations and other conservation organizations (coming soon);
- a water trail management plan.
Based on input from conservation and community partners, the revisions to the printed map and guide focused on emphasizing the environmental recovery of the waterway and showcasing the positive aspects of revitalized river towns.
