Been fishing, walking, looking for indian stuff, since 1953...when You could rent a boat at my Great Uncles place.. in the 50's till he died long befor muddy run and peach bottom Atomic Power Plant. When they made Conowingo it flooded the peach orchards next to the old riverbed...Moved out of the area in 1998

I have been going to Kelly's Run and the Pinnical Overlook for the past couple of months now and had a blast each time. The scenery is alwys changing and is a great cardio workout.

The tour itself is best suited for those with a fascination for engineering feats, yet also for history buffs. The latter group would benefit more by doing some pre-visit research. It's a shame that "Holtwood Village" no longer remains, except in photographs. The nearby Conestoga Historical Society has a lot of info on both the dam and the former village.... More

i go there lots to just hang out and eat a little food, feed the ducks and fish, once in a while rent a boat and paddle up to the dam. right before crossing the bridge there is a spot you can pull off, it is where the iron works are still left standing. they would pull the boats up... More

This trip might not be for everyone, but if you watch "How's it Made" then seeing the inner workings of the dam might be right up your alley. It's a long drive, down a windy road to get to the river, but once you're there the staff is knowlegable and the views are amazing.

I went on a half-day tour of the Hydroelectric Dam. It was absolutely fascinating and the host made the process of electricity generation very understandable!

The Holtwood Dam is situated on the lower Susquehanna River and can be visited on the Lancaster County side of the river. It is a great place to fish. Just look at all the boats just below the dam! There are tours of the dam available that must be scheduled in advance. Be sure to check out the fish lifts... More

Great Fishing for walleye, catfish and the occasional striper Nice place for a picnic Just a good place to relax.

Went there a few years ago for their fish drop. It was a very interesting tour.
