This historical trail enables the user to start just below the breached South Fork Dam and follow the same watercourse that floodwaters took in 1889, when they surged into Johnstown.
The Path of the Flood Trail provides numerous trail-side markers that tell the story and enable users to visualize the scene within the Little Conemaugh River valley, which remains largely unchanged more than 120 years later. Additionally, this trail is naturally beautiful and challenging with some steeper grades and varying trail surfaces.Photo by Patti Jones.
