Pennsylvania Canal (West Branch Division). Division was built from Northumberland to Lock Haven in 1828-34. Until 1889 boats carried iron, lumber and manufacturers from this area to eastern markets. Here the Bald Eagle Cross Cut Canal joined the division connecting with it by two locks, a dam and a tow-path bridge.
