The water trail contains important cultural resources, such as Native American river rock art, called “petroglyphs,” which can be found just south of Safe Harbor Dam. Indian Steps Museum, in nearby York Furnace, contains a variety of interesting Native American collections and artifacts. Archeologists have unearthed evidence of over 30 Native villages along the water trail.
The Conejohela Flats, an internationally recognized migratory shorebird resting area, is located on the water trail. As many as 38 species of shorebirds use this area to feed and rest on their journey to breeding grounds as far north as the Arctic Tundra and wintering grounds in South and Central America.
