Pennsylvania Canal (Eastern Division)

Dauphin County · dedicated 1952 · Rt. 147, just off exit from US 22/322 (east side of Clarks Ferry Bridge), Dauphin

This Division was built, 1826-33; operated until 1901. Here, at old Clark's Ferry Towpath Bridge, the State's great inland canal traffic in iron, coal, and lumber crossed the Susquehanna. Lykens Valley coal trade, by way of Wiconisco Canal, joined it on the east bank.
