Historically,
our town was named for its location at the junction of the Casselman
River and Laurel Hill Creek with the Youghiogheny River. Today, the
name is more than a geographic moniker, reflecting the confluence
of recreational venues that attract visitors to our friendly community
from far and wide.
Passing
through our town is the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail, part
of a 335-mile continuous non-motorized corridor from near Pittsburgh
to Washington, DC. For dozens of miles, it parallels the Youghiogheny
River, noted for some of the best whitewater boating in the Eastern U.S.
as well as spectacular scenery. And speaking of boating, the 2,840-acre
Youghiogheny River Lake just south of town is a power-boater's dream.
Within a short drive are two world-renown Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces,
Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, that should be on everyone’s ‘must
see’ list.
If you haven’t guessed it by now, our natural resources are a magnet
for outdoor enthusiasts. During the warm months, anglers enjoy excellent
fishing in well-stocked rivers and streams, hikers can choose from 79
miles of trails in nearby Ohiopyle State Park, and campers settle into
mountain wildflower havens. When the snow flies, visitors flock to four
area ski resorts and miles of cross-country ski trails for frosty adventures.
We are surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Pennsylvania, including
the highest, Mount Davis at 3,213 ft above sea level – which is
another way of saying the vistas are really beautiful.
Confluence, PA. Where
mountains touch rivers … and
visitors become friends. Come and find out for yourself!
