About This Site

How This Site Is Made

This is a research guide. It is built from official sources — the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of State Parks and the other agencies listed in the Sources box at the foot of each page — not from a personal visit by the people who put it together. A page adds a note from a named contributor when one has been there. Each page shows the date its facts were last checked against those sources.

Where this site and an official source differ, the official source is right. Anything that cannot be traced to an official source is left out.

First-hand notes appear only when a contributor who was there has written one, and they carry that person's name.

Questions and corrections reach the editor through the contact page.
