Juniata River Region

The past is always present along the trails, roadways and waterways that wind through the rolling countryside of this historic region. These are the lands where the Juniatas once hunted and trapped, a revolution was fought, lumbering was king and iron furnaces roared as settlers came to build their homes and farms and make this scenic valley home. The waters of the Juniata River provided transportation and abundant fishing, while the woods teamed with deer, grouse, turkey, bear and a variety of small game. Today, these lands have become a favorite destination of those who love the great outdoors and the many fishing, hiking, boating, cycling and backpacking opportunities the region offers.
