Conewago Falls, Waterfall in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
The water drops 19 feet over a quarter mile stretch along the Susquehanna River, spanning approximately 8,000 feet across the riverbed.
The York Haven Dam construction in 1904 modified the river flow, making this structure the third largest dam worldwide at that time.
Native American tribes, including Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Lenape, used elm bark canoes to navigate around these falls for trade purposes.
Visitors can access the falls through the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's Falmouth Access on Collins Road, off Route 441.
The diabase rocks at the falls contain numerous potholes formed by underwater sand erosion processes during the Ice Age period.
