The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission launched a new initiative last fall to develop a statewide network of scenic water trails.
Water trails are like hiking trails.
They promote the connection of people to the resource and ultimately encourage stewardship of the resource. They have trail heads, points of interest and recreational activities that can be pursued along their courses. Water trails may provide more opportunities because of the many things you can do as you boat along their courses. These activities include fishing, wildlife watching, enjoying the scenery and learning about the history of the watercourse and the surrounding area. The network of state-designated water trails will provide enhanced recreational opportunities for the Commonwealth's anglers and boaters while returning significant benefits to the state's economy in travel and tourism dollars.
