Bear Run, PA

The two stone dams on Bear Run, originally part of the grounds for the staff of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, were removed in August 2008 by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and American Rivers. The restoration will reconnect wild brook trout populations on this state scenic river and has already uncovered natural bedrock features and riffle habitat in the impoundment.
