In the following years, a few hopeful and hardy people settled
the area. By the 1820’s, the word of vast stands of virgin timber in
the Pine Creek Valley spread. Twenty years later 145 individual
sawmills had been in operation in the Pine Creek watershed,
however, the flood of 1832 destroyed many. By 1920, hardly a
marketable tree was left standing; the majestic pines had been cut
and floated down Pine Creek for use as tall ship masts, the
hemlock’s bark was used in tanning leather and the hardwoods
fueled the Industrial Revolution thus expanding the
American frontier.
Long ago, the rugged shorelines and swift waters of Pine Creek
were traveled for hundreds of years via footpath and canoe. The
Seneca Indians used the Pine Creek Path as a connection between
the Great Shamokin Path (along the Susquehanna River) and the
Iroquois settlements along the Genessee River in New York.

is more than 800 feet and from rim to rim is approximately
4,000 feet.
