EspañolLOYALHANNA CREEK
Loyalhanna Lake and Dam on Loyalhanna Creek in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. View is upriver to the west-northwest.
'Loyalhanna Creek' is a tributary of the Kiskiminetas River, approximately 50 mi (80 km) long, in southwestern Pennsylvania in the United States. The creek is a popular destination for canoeing and recreational trout fishing.
Loyalhanna rises from Laurel Ridge in southern Westmoreland County, north of Donegal and flows NNE, along the southeastern side of Chestnut Ridge. Approximately 5 mi (8 km) northwest of Ligonier it turns northwest, cutting through Chestnut Ridge and passing through Latrobe. From Latrobe it flows NNW, passing through Loyalhanna Lake reservoir and joining the Conemaugh River to form the Kisminiteas at Saltsburg.
The creek derives its name from an important Delaware Indian crossroads town of the the 1700s, located at the present site of Ligonier, named Layalhanning.[1]
