Get your tickets now! \nThe Allegheny River | The Ohi:yo’\nThe historic Allegheny River starts as a stream in Potter County\, meandering through a field of wildflowers before crossing briefly through New York and then through six counties in Western Pennsylvania. The 325-mile river ends in Pittsburgh where it meets the Monongahela River and flows into the Ohio River\, providing drinking water to more than one million people and acting as an ecologically and economically precious water trail. \nThe fertile valleys and abundant biodiversity have led many communities to call this place home\, including the O-non-dowa-gah (Seneca Nation) who call the Allegheny Ohi:yo’ (beautiful river\, the good river)\, the Lenni Lenape (Delaware Nation) who named it welhik-heny (most beautiful stream)\, and French settlers who referred to it as La Belle Riviere. \nA series of locks and dams were constructed in the early 20th century to make the Allegheny River navigable for barges to transport goods\, and now swimming\, boating\, and fishing are profoundly enjoyed by residents and visitors. The river includes the Allegheny Islands Wilderness\, a seven-island\, 372 acre preserve that boasts old-growth hardwoods and prolific bird populations. The US Forest Service has documented over 50 mammals\, 200 birds\, 25 amphibians\, 20 reptiles\, 80 fishes\, and 25 freshwater mussels in and around the Allegheny\, including the threatened Salamander Mussel (Simpsonaias ambigua)\, who help improve our water quality by filtering out sediment and pollutants. \nWhether you are bird watching\, island camping\, or traveling through the locks\, you are sure to find that the Allegheny River is rich with life\, history\, and beauty.
