Waterfalls
Wapwallopen PA. (near Hazleton Pa.)
These
waterfalls are along the Big Wapwallopen Creek. The area is called the
Powder Hole because it was home to a mill that produced black powder. (The
Powder Hole is on private property and is posted, "No Trespassing.") The
mill operated from before the Civil War, about 1855, into the twentieth century
, around 1913. The primary customers for the powder were the local coal
mines. While the whole area is the Powder Hole I've broken the area into two
parts. First the area around the old Power House (see picture at the
right) I've called the Powder Hole (see the graffiti on the remains of the
railroad trestle in the picture below).
Above that area are a series of three falls, The Upper Falls. Some call this set of waterfalls, Johnnoha Falls.
The Powder Hole
