Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation, Canal transport system in Centre County, Pennsylvania.
The Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation stretched 25 miles through Centre County, featuring 22 lift locks and 6 guard locks along its route.
The canal company, incorporated in 1834, connected Bellefonte's iron industry with Pennsylvania's main canal system until flooding ended operations in 1865.
Local wealthy families and Philadelphia investors provided capital for the canal, demonstrating the period's commitment to transportation infrastructure development.
The waterway transported pig iron, bituminous coal, limestone, and agricultural products between Bellefonte and the West Branch Canal at Lock Haven.
The canal's remains include stone structures from original locks near McCoy and Linn ironworks, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
