There used to be a really cool abandoned factory on the path but they tore it down maybe a decade ago. I think you can see the outline/steps directly off the path. If you cross the path to where the dam/abandoned lock house is, you can follow a man made path to abandoned train tracks which leads to an abandoned parking lot which leads to an abandoned paper mill which absolutely has security but that didn’t stop me from getting some cool pics inside and on the roof. Anyways any urbex people do with that knowledge as you wish

That wasn't a factory. It was the Shawmont Raw Water Pumping Station.

Yep, pumped up to the Roxborough Reservoir, which is now a a cool bird preserve and super worth the visit

That Paper Mill was the oldest operating in the country when it closed down just a few years ago. It was pretty cool when I went last year. Seems like they’ve torn down a bunch of it recently

Fun fact, they used to make the boxes for White Castle

When it was closed the company intentionally destroyed essential parts of the machinery in order to eliminate the possibility of it being reopened by a competitor.

Lol, i took a peek through there back in the Spring and there were people actively scrapping the place, dragging metal all the way to their cars parked off the trail.
