The Connecting Channel Overlook at Tioga-Hammond Lakes Recreation Area in Tioga, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back paved path that leads to an overlook high above the Tioga Lake water channel with views of both Tioga Lake and Hammond Lake.
These two lakes, technically reservoirs, are connected by this channel to keep clean water flowing into Tioga Lake from Hammond Lake. Since Tioga Lakes receives its water from various upstream acid drains from old mines, Hammond Lakes' channel provides a way to mix in cleaner water to help promote better aquatic life in both the reservoir and downstream rivers.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. We share trails, hikes, and backpacking trips on the interwebs for the fun of it and believe that public trail information should be free and accessible to the public.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including exploring , mapping , and publishing new trails with high-quality content, adding new site features, and site maintainance and moderating. We simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 😎 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
