The Arch in Auburn Pennsylvania

The entrance to Auburn, PA. Commonly referred to as The Arch.

Here are some photos of the Arch in Auburn,PA. The Arch is also known as the entrance to Auburn. The Reading and Northern Railroad runs on the tracks that go over the Arch.

Years ago, people would hang out and socialize on the steps to the arch. It was a favorite place among teenagers of the time. This was before the internet and today's world of Facebook.

The arch also has a small dirt road right before the steps the leads back to the Auburn Canal. This was a very popular spot for fishing and also bush parties.

On the area to the right of the Arch is the Schuylkill River which has a small path/trail that leads to the Schuylkill River and is still quite popular with local fishermen.

The actual street that runs under the Arch is known as Route 895 or Market Street in Auburn, PA.

The Landingville Marsh Area Landingville, PA

The Landingville Marsh Area - Landingville, PA

A view of the Marsh Area from the Bartram Trail parking lot in Landingville, PA

Just past the marsh area in Landingville. This is near the entrance to the falls of the Auburn Dam. The Bartram Trail currently ends at the concrete barrier seen in this picture.

The Landingville Marsh Area is a great place for outdoor recreation. Some activities include fishing, walking, and bird watching. The marsh isn't fished much, but you can catch sunfish, bass, and pickerel there. The Bartram Trail runs along the one side of the marsh and allows you to connect to a trail that goes around the marsh and comes back out to the road. When you get near the road you will be alongside the Schuylkill River.



Signs posted along the marsh state the marsh area is home to 211 species of birds with 77 confirmed to be nesting in the area. The marsh is also very close to the Auburn / Landingville Dam which is heavily used for boating and fishing. The Dam is home to a large number of fish which include catfish, large mouth bass. small mouth bass, carp, perch, suckers, musky, pickerel, walleye, and pike. In the past few years some reports show trout in the dam. This is probably due to trout being stocked north of the dam in the Schuylkill River near Pottsville.

I will be taking more photos of the Marsh in the future and will upload them here.
