2023 Armstrong County Adventure Guide

WELCOME!

Experience Armstrong County Your Way

There is no wrong way to experience Armstrong County. Located in the heart of Western Pennsylvania, Armstrong County is the ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of every day and immerse yourself in a peaceful, rural atmosphere. For outdoor enthusiasts, we invite you to paddle our waterways, cast your line at our lakes, or traverse our rail trails. For golfers, we recommend booking a tee time at one of our many pristine golf courses tucked among rolling hills. For history buffs, we encourage you to visit our local historical societies, museums, and historic properties. For families, we suggest you experience the area like a local by making time for an afternoon at the roller rink, an ice cream cone, and a drive-in movie.

As the official tourism promotion agency for Armstrong County, the team at Experience Armstrong, Inc. is here to help you explore the hidden gems of our charming communities. Give us a call, send us an email, or stop by our Welcome Center in Kittanning for maps, brochures, and additional information to make the most of your stay.

How will you experience Armstrong County?

APOLLO

Settled initially as the village of Warren, Apollo is located in a former coal-mining region with a rich history. The area, nestled in the southern region of the county along the Kiskiminetas River, was surveyed and laid out in 1816, but it was not incorporated as the borough of Apollo until 1848. In 1828, the Pennsylvania Canal was completed, strengthening the community’s economy. Within the Roaring Run Recreation Area, trail users can find stone remnants of the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal.

DAYTON

The borough of Dayton, a rural community with a significant Amish presence, was incorporated in 1873. Located close to the Armstrong County/Indiana County line, Dayton is most recognized today as the home of the annual Dayton Fair. The Marshall family played a pivotal role in forming this community. Visitors

EXPERIENCE

SMALL TOWN CHARM

can learn more about this family and the history of the community at the historic Thomas Hindman Marshall House. 2023 marks the 150th anniversary of Dayton and will feature special events to commemorate this milestone.

FORD CITY

Situated in the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania along the Allegheny River, Ford City was founded in 1887 by John B. Ford as a company town for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. The community became one of the fastest-growing boroughs in the nation, gaining a population of over 3,000 in ten years. It became a melting pot of European ethnic groups, which is now displayed and celebrated through various community events throughout the year.

FREEPORT

Formerly called “Todd’s Town” after the founding family, Freeport was incorporated in 1833 as a free and open port where “no dockage fee

will ever be charged to tie up a boat, raft, or barge.” The community was a port on the former Pennsylvania Main Line Canal, which led to significant growth and prosperity. Its location along the Allegheny River and Buffalo Creek and proximity to multiple rail trails makes it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

KITTANNING

Originally established as “Kit-HanNe,” meaning “at the great river,” Kittanning is the county seat of Armstrong County. This area was also the site of a pivotal battle during the French and Indian War and later became an important trading center along the Allegheny River. By the early 20th century, the city had developed considerable industry. As of late, Kittanning’s small-town charm has secured it and its iconic Kittanning Citizens Bridge, a through truss bridge, a spot in several films and television series.

LEECHBURG

Leechburg, located along the Kiskiminetas River, was founded by its namesake, David L. Leech. Incorporated in 1850, it was a prosperous area during the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal construction. Early in the 20th century, it was the site of extensive steel sheet works, foundries, cement plants, and productive coal mines. Leechburg was also the first place where natural gas was used for metallurgy in the United States.

PARKER

Named after Judge John Parker and incorporated in 1873, Parker is nationally known as the “Smallest City in the USA.” At the height of the oil boom, Parker had a population of 20,000. As of 2019, the population has dwindled to 648. Located along the Allegheny River near the mouth of the Clarion River, this city is a wonderful retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape from urban living.

EXPERIENCE

200+ Miles of SCENIC Trails

ARMSTRONG TRAILS

This 52.5-mile long, non-motorized rail trail located along the former Allegheny Valley Railroad corridor along the eastern bank of the Allegheny River in Armstrong, Clarion, and Westmoreland counties is on the main spine of the emerging 270-mile Erie to Pittsburgh Trail. Rich in local history, trail users will find remnants of villages, iron furnaces, train stations, a coaling tower, tunnels, an 1899 railroad bridge, and a railroad turntable along the trail. Flora and fauna blossom and bound along the trail, creating a colorful and lively show throughout the seasons. Currently, 35.5 miles (31 continuous miles) are open for use and have been improved with crushed limestone or asphalt surfaces. Ongoing rehabilitation projects continue on the Brady Tunnel in 2023, which will connect the southern section of the trail to the northern five miles. Additionally, the newly acquired 14-mile section and 4-mile spur at the southern end of the trail will be under construction in 2023. As of the date of this publication, construction on the trail and Kiskiminetas Bridge has not begun. These major pieces of trail infrastructure are closed to the public at this time and are expected to be open to trail users in early 2024. Please check the Armstrong Trails website for up-to-date information on these developments.

BAKER TRAIL

With its Northern trailhead in Forest County and its Southern trailhead in Westmoreland County, the Baker Trail covers 134 miles across six counties. This state-designated hiking trail features forest paths, old Jeep trails, paved roads, and dirt roads as it traverses forests and farmlands and hugs rivers and creeks throughout Western Pennsylvania.

BUTLER-FREEPORT COMMUNITY TRAIL

The Butler-Freeport Community Trail is a 21-mile scenic rail trail in Armstrong and Butler counties. The trail features a crushed limestone surface and is perfect for all types of non-motorized recreation, including hiking, biking, walking, running, geocaching, and birding. It’s also handicap accessible for all to enjoy.

COWANSHANNOCK TRAIL & BUTTERMILK FALLS

This short but scenic trail leads to one of Armstrong County’s best-kept secrets — Buttermilk Falls. Follow this 1.27-mile crushed limestone trail on foot or bike from the trailhead at the 7-acre Bernard C. Snyder picnic area as it follows Cowanshannock Creek on an abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad Company corridor.

Armstrong Trails

GREAT SHAMOKIN PATH

The Great Shamokin Path follows a section of the abandoned Rural Valley Railroad corridor for 3.5 miles between NuMine and Rose Valley and connects two lakes: the Devil’s Washbasin and White Lake/Wetland. This gravel and grass-covered hiking and biking trail parallels Cowanshannock Creek and is a great location for observing nature, birding, and picnicking. The Great Shamokin Path gets its name from the route that once linked the Allegheny and Susquehanna rivers from Sunbury to Kittanning.

NORTH COUNTRY TRAIL

The North Country Trail is a 4,700-mile trail managed by the National Park Service. The 57-mile Butler County Chapter segment of the trail begins at Alpha Pass in McConnells Mill State Park and ends in Parker, a city in the northwestern part of Armstrong County and the smallest city in America. Recommended hikes include Hidden River Bridge to Burnside Road (6 miles), Route 528 Bridge to Jennings Prairie (7 miles), and Parker Area State Game Lands 95 (4-8 miles).

OUTDOOR DISCOVERY CENTER TRAILS

There are three public trails at the Outdoor Discovery Center at Crooked Creek. The You Can Trail is an easy and accessible 0.4-mile loop trail that starts next to the parking lot. It will soon be improved upon with the addition of markers and guides for the visually impaired. The Discovery Trail is an approximately 0.6-mile easy to moderate trail with interpretive stations (trail guide located outside of the ODC front door). It also features poetry throughout the trail. The trailhead is located behind the ODC. The Shrub Swamp Trail can be accessed off of the Discovery Trail or from the Outflow Recreation Area. The 0.8-mile trail provides a gentle walk along the outflow of Crooked Creek Lake and provides a great opportunity to see a wide variety of birds, flowers, and wildlife.

REDBANK VALLEY TRAIL

Named the 2014 Trail of the Year by Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Redbank Valley Trail is a scenic non-motorized, four-season trail maintained by the Redbank Valley Trails Association. This 51-mile trail follows Red Bank Creek from the confluence with the Allegheny River, where the trail connects with Armstrong Trails.

ROARING RUN TRAIL

Roaring Run Trail is a 4.8-mile crushed stone rail trail that’s a part of the Trans Allegheny Trail system. Along this trail and the Kiski River, you’ll find remnants of the area’s past, including stone remains from what was a canal lock when the trail was a towpath on the crossstate Main Line Canal system and mileage markers and a bridge from when the Pennsylvania Railroad had bought the canal system in the mid-1800s and converted it to rail. This area is now preserved and maintained by the Roaring Run Watershed Association.

ROCK FURNACE TRAIL

Also managed by the Roaring Run Watershed Association, Rock Furnace is a 1.5-mile spur of the Roaring Run Trail that features a wooden suspension bridge and the stone ruins of an iron furnace from which it got its name. It has a moderate grade and a tar-andchip surface.

Horseback Riding Trails

CROOKED CREEK HORSE PARK

Located at the north end of Crooked Creek Lake, Crooked Creek Horse Park has approximately 30 miles of permanently marked trails. The most popular trails are out and back, but there are loops available. These trails are challenging for experienced riders but not too difficult for novice riders and feature varying terrains. The trail system is maintained by volunteers from the Fort Armstrong Horsemen’s Association.

Footsteps of History EXPERIENCE

No matter where you are in Armstrong County, you’re walking in the footsteps of history.

During the French and Indian War, the village of Kit-Han-Ne was the center for Indian raids on the white settlements in Western Pennsylvania and parts of Maryland and Virginia. Colonel John Armstrong led 300 frontier troops in an attack on the village on the morning of September 8, 1756. Most of the village was destroyed and the tribe leader, Captain Jacobs, was killed. And although Armstrong suffered many losses, the battle was considered a victory because the tribe left the village and a majority of the raids ceased.

Armstrong County, named for Colonel Armstrong, was formed in 1800 from parts of Lycoming, Allegheny, and Westmoreland counties. The county is home to many historical sites, including the Battle of Kittanning, the childhood home of Nellie Bly, Drake Log Cabin, St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, and more.
