Pennsylvania Rivers And Lakes

Pennsylvania has several prominent rivers that fueled early industrialization and commerce.

The Delaware River

Forming the eastern state boundary, the Delaware River was vital for Philadelphia's port and shipbuilding industry starting in the Colonial era.

The Susquehanna River

The Susquehanna River runs through central Pennsylvania and powered mills and manufacturing in Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre via its tributaries.

The Allegheny River

Joining the Monongahela to form the Ohio River, the Allegheny River enabled trade and supported Pittsburgh's steel mills.

The Great Lakes

Though not bordering the Great Lakes, Pennsylvania benefits from these massive bodies of water.

Lake Erie

Lake Erie in the northwest corner provided shipping access from Erie's port and shipbuilding industry.

Finger Lakes

New York's Finger Lakes just north of the state border supply grape vineyards in the Chautauqua-Lake Erie wine region.

From colonial times through the peak of American manufacturing, Pennsylvania's network of waterways played an integral role in development.
