Survey forms were available at six locations along the Paulinskill Valley Trail from the beginning of June through October 2010. Completed responses were mailed back to RTC. In all, 374 completed survey forms are included in this analysis. ZIP codes indicate a large majority of trail users on the Paulinskill Valley Trail are from the local communities in Warren and Sussex counties (72.8 percent). Trail users from other New Jersey counties represented 16.5 percent of the sample. The remaining trail users came from other states (9.7 percent). The majority of respondents (45.3 percent) reported using the trail more than twice a week. Nearly 10 percent were on the Paulinskill Valley Trail for the first time. The age profile of users is similar to that seen in other trail surveys, with the majority of users (62.5 percent) in the range of 46 to 65 years old.

  • Environmental History of the Blacklick Valley
    A Valley Reborn: A Brief Environmental History of the Blacklick Valley “The history of my country, like many other American districts, and perhaps that of the nation as a whole, had been the slow exhausting of resources. The men in their coonskin caps, the fierce Scotch-Irish of the frontier, had driven away the larger game. Their sons, who cleared the frontier, had cut the virgin forest, and the next two generations had worn out the arable soil. My country was fed with minerals, but the coal in time would be exhausted, and then? Coal picker, Nanty Glo, 1937. Photo: Ben Shahn - Malcolm Cowley, My Countryside, Then and Now (Harper’s Weekly, January 1929) Native Americans The Native American presence in the Blacklick Valley was limited primarily to members of the Shawnee and Delaware tribes. The area was used for hunting, fishing and trading on nearby Indian paths. The Catawba Trail, a major trading path, crossed Blacklick Creek just outside of the present-day community of Black Lick. Archeological evidence indicates that small native settlements once existed here. Settlements existed at the site of today’s Blacklick Valley Natural Area, on a farm outside of Dilltown and at the juncture of Two Lick and Blacklick Creek (known as Naeskahoni Town). Early Settlement and the ‘Westsylvania Movement’ The first permanent settlers arrived in the area in the 1770s, although white traders passed through here before then. At that time this portion of Indiana County was part of Westmoreland County, while Cambria County was part of Huntingdon and Somerset Counties. The area was included in a petition circulated in 1776 to create a new state to be known as Westsylvania.
