The Conestoga trail has been located adjacent to Speedwell forge lake for Twenty ++ years. Huricane Irene and Tropical storm Lee, damaged the dam and spillway forcing the PF&BC to draw down the Lake for Safety reasons.

You can help restore the dam with a contribution or the Purchase of a Tee shirt.
