Kiskiminetas River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kiskiminetas River
The Kiskiminetas River (called the Kiski for short) is a tributary of the Allegheny River, approximately long, in Western Pennsylvania in the United States.〔 The region surrounding the Kiskiminetas is often referred to as the Alle-Kiski Valley after the rivers. == Course ==
The Kiskiminetas River is formed at Saltsburg, on the border between Westmoreland and Indiana counties, by the confluence of the Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek. It flows northwest in a meandering course past Avonmore, Apollo, Vandergrift, Hyde Park and Leechburg. It joins the Allegheny River near Freeport at Schenley, approximately northeast of Pittsburgh. The Kiski-Conemaugh watershed includes much of the historic coal-producing region of Western Pennsylvania. The water quality is considered degraded by numerous abandoned mine drainages in its upper reaches and tributaries, leading to on-going efforts by federal, state, and private agencies to improve the water quality of the river. The Kittanning Path, a major trail in the region used by Native Americans and early European settlers, crossed the river at a ford near present-day Leechburg.
