About the cowanesque river
The Cowanesque River is a 47-mile-long tributary of the Tioga River in Pennsylvania and New York. It flows through the cities of Westfield, Knoxville, and Lawrenceville. The river is named after the Cowanesque Native American tribe that inhabited the area in the past. The Cowanesque River is known for its hydroelectric power generation, with three hydroelectric dams and reservoirs along its course, namely the Cowanesque Lake, Hammond Lake, and Tioga-Hammond Lakes. These reservoirs and dams help regulate the river's flow and provide flood control. The Cowanesque River is also a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The surrounding lands are utilized for agriculture, including dairy farming, crop cultivation, and grazing.
