About the beaver river
The Beaver River is a 101-mile-long river that flows through Western Pennsylvania, USA. It has a rich history and was used by Native Americans for fishing and trading. In the early 1800s, the river was used for transportation and trade of timber, coal, and oil. The river flows into the Ohio River and ultimately into the Mississippi River. The hydrology of the river has been altered by several dams and reservoirs, including the Indian Rock Dam and the Connoquenessing Creek Dam. These dams have created recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, and hiking, as well as providing water for agricultural purposes. The river also supports wildlife, including beavers, otters, and various fish species.
