Geocache Description:

Park at the northern end of town and follow the Kiski River to Blackleg Creek. This section of the trail was constructed and dedicated in honor of Conemaugh Valley Conservancy Trail engineer jack Maguire. Read the stashnote to find coordinates and a question to get your code.

Where the Loyalhanna Creek joins the Conemaugh River to form the Kiskiminetas River the town of Saltsburg was created. It was named for the abundance of salt in the area. Salt was found in 1798 and the first successful salt well was drilled in 1813. The industry peaked in the 1830’s and became one of the nations leading producers of salt. The town then grew because of its importance in the Canal. Following the old canal, Saltsburg’s Canal Park travels right through town. From here you can see the 1863 West Penn Railroad Piers.

This cache is part of the Main Line Canal GeoTrail, a chance to experience the Pittsburgh-Harrisburg Main Line Canal Greenway through geocaching. The Greenway is a linked network of land and water trails, tracing the path of the historic Main Line Canal. These caches may be found in an outdoor recreation destination, a key heritage location or an environmental educational site- all ways the Greenway is making new connections between old neighbors. You must find at least 4 geocaches in each of the Main Line Canal Greenway Clusters and record the codes found at each cache in the Logbook. Once you have completed the MLCG Logbook you can receive a MLCG trackable geocoin. Remember CITO can be practiced all year long and Leave No Trace.
