Lycoming

Lycoming Creek runs south through wooded hills to the West Branch of the Susquehanna. The Sheshequin Path followed the creek northward, forming part of an Indigenous route between the West Branch and the Susquehanna's northern valley. During the American Revolution the same trail carried Colonel Thomas Hartley's soldiers on a campaign in 1778. They widened its narrow course for men and horses as they advanced toward Indigenous towns along the upper river.
