Beaver and Erie Canal - Pymatuning Swamp

Pymatuning Swamp

The canal passed along a causeway of 3 miles (4.8 km) through what later became Pymatuning State Park at Hartstown, Pennsylvania. The causeway was built through Pymatuning Swamp by the Erie Canal Company, effectively forming the 600 acres (2.4 km2) of Pymatuning Reservoir west of the canal.
