map-www.LHtrouttrail.com The Laurel Highlands region of southwestern Pennsylvania is famous for its trails including the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, the Great Allegheny Passage Laurel bicycle and multi-use trail, the Youghiogheny River Water Trail and now the Laurel Highlands Trout Trail. A trout trail? Not one for trout, but one to take people to trout-related recreation. The Laurel Highlands Trout Trail directs anglers to 10 different streams in a Highlands 70-mile region that stretches from Ligonier in the north, southward almost to the West Virginia border. Unlike the others, it’s not a trail that’s one continuous route but a course of driving from stream to stream and tasting the Trout Trail fishing at each and every stop. The Laurel Highlands Trout Trail is in its fifth year and so far, according to Olga Herbert, executive director of by Linda Steiner the Lincoln Highway (Route 30) Heritage Corridor, it has 24 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • March/April 2016 PFBC Facebook: PaFishandBoat photo-Linda Steiner photo-Linda Fishing the Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only area of Loyalhanna Creek, Westmoreland County. been very popular with anglers and their families. The trail concept was created in 2012 by Herbert in conjunction with the local Forbes Trail Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau. It has thrived through the support of these and other partners. The trail is a novel way to focus and spur angling-related visitation to enhance the local economy, and it also has a conservation component. “We’ve put some money into healthy streams,” said Herbert. “We wrote a grant from the Laurel Highlands Visitor Bureau to add limestone sand to Rock Run, which has an acid problem.” The remediation work involved the Forbes Trail TU chapter. Rock Run flows into Linn Run, which feeds map-www.LHtrouttrail.com Loyalhanna Creek, Westmoreland County. Both are destinations on the trout trail. “We’re trying to attract new men, women and youth to fly fishing and the Laurel Highlands Trout Trail, and you have to have good streams to have a good time,” said Herbert. Anglers visiting the trail streams are encouraged to take a “selfie” photo at each of the destinations, and email it to the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor. The “Selfie at the Stream” promotion, which offers a drawing for fishing-related prizes, will be conducted again this year. Visit www.LHtrouttrail.com for more information on Steiner photo-Bob where to email photos for 2016 and view the on-the-trail “selfies.” The website also has a trout trail brochure, stream location map, listing of area angling-themed events, lodging suggestions, fishing and fly-hatch information and Fishing the Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only area of additional links and contacts.

The trout trail section extends from the Linn Run State Park office downstream to the park boundary, near Rector. Cold tributaries and a dense tree cover extend the trout fishing period on this stocked stream. 4. East of Donegal, picturesque Indian Creek, Westmoreland County, is another trout trail destination. Fish the 1.6-mile section along Route 381 that is a DHALO project. The special regulation area boundaries are from Hunters Bridge, off Route 381 on Township 916, downstream to the Route 381 bridge in Jones Mills. Indian Creek’s Camp Run is a notable tributary, hosting wild trout.

Try fishing the All Tackle Trophy Trout Project in the “Middle Yough,” from the Ramcat access in the state park downstream to Ohiopyle. Wading can be tricky in this rocky, quick-moving, high-volume river, but there’s lots of casting room and fish-holding pockets to explore. 10.3. Quebec Run is the most remote and probably least fished of the 10 trail streams, which will make it a must-visit for some trout trail travelers. Quebec Run is in Forbes State Forest, Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland counties, a few miles north of the West Virginia border. Located within a state- designated Wild Area, the run has native Brook Trout. Hike in on the Mill Run Trail to complete the Laurel Highlands Trout Trail. You may want to travel the Laurel Highlands Trout Trail with the goal of catching a trout in each of the 10 waters.

    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C

    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania.

Since the early days of the Boy Scouts of America, young Scouts have been in the outdoors exploring it’s beauty and all that Mother Nature has to offer. We are very fortunate here in the heart of the Laurel Highlands to have many camps and properties right at our fingertips. Although each facility is different; each has it’s own attractions that make it unique from the others while still providing a quality program to the countless number of Scouts and Scouters who enter each weekend. Dr. E. Urner Goodman the founder of the Order of the Arrow once said “The order is a thing of the Outdoors.” With this statement in mind Wagion Lodge #6 undertook the project to produce this guide and make it available to all units across the council.

    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014

    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014 What is Primitive Camping? Primitive camping is a simplistic style of camping. Campers hike, pedal or paddle to reach a location and spend the night without the presence of developed facilities. This primitive camping experience takes place off the beaten path, where piped water, restrooms and other amenities are not provided. You pack in all you need, exchanging a few conveniences for the solitude found in the back country setting. Fresh air, fewer people and out-of-the-way natural landscapes are some of the benefits of primitive camping. Once off the beaten path, however, additional advantages begin to surface such as a deeper awareness and greater appreciation of the outdoor world around you. Primitive camping also builds outdoor skills and fosters a gratifying sense of self-sufficiency. Where to Camp Pennsylvania has 2.2 million acres of state forest land with 2,500 miles of trails and 5,132 miles of Camping at rivers and streams winding through it. Hiking, biking and multi-use trails traverse most state forest districts and six districts have designated water trails that transect state forest land. Forest Districts State parks are not open to primitive camping. However, with the exception of William Penn State Forest, all state forest districts are open to this activity. Camping is not permitted in designated STATE FOREST DISTRICTS: natural areas or at vistas, trail heads, picnic areas and areas that are posted closed to camping. Bald Eagle State Forest (570) 922-3344 Contact a forest district office for specific information, maps and Camping Permits (if needed).

    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

    Allegheny's Riverfronts

    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.
