My connection to the Conowingo Dam: Now I've been bringing my granddaughter to the dam with me. She loves coming to the dam with me. Whenever she stays with my wife and I she asks, ‘Pop Pop can we go to the dam?’ and of course (weather permitting) we come and visit.

Story:

I remember going to the Conowingo Dam since I was just a young lad in the 1960s.We would all hop in the car and go fishing (I would always catch the largest cat fish there).

In addition to my enjoyment of fishing, I have been into photography since my teens, so I’ve experienced the best of both worlds at the Conowingo Dam- a place known for its wildlife and natural beauty.

Naturally, the dam was a big part of my life when I was younger and is something I continue to enjoy in my later years. I am glad to have seen many changes and improvements over the years that have been made for the visitors that come to the dam.

The Conowingo Dam has been a big part of my life. For me, it’s been a great place for some rest and relaxation and not too far from home.

Thanks Conowingo Dam for all you have done.
