About the little juniata river
The Little Juniata River is a 35-mile-long tributary of the Juniata River in central Pennsylvania. It has a unique history, as it was once a heavily polluted river due to acid mine drainage from the coal mines. However, efforts to clean up the river have been successful, and it is now a popular spot for fishing and outdoor recreation. The river is fed by several small streams and has several notable dams and reservoirs, including the Raystown Lake and the Bald Eagle Creek Reservoir. These dams provide drinking water, hydroelectric power, and flood control. The Little Juniata River is known for its diverse fish populations, including trout, bass, and catfish. The river supports both recreational and agricultural activities, with farmers using it for irrigation and watering livestock.
