With your help, a river that runs through Western Pennsylvania could be named the state’s 2025 River of the Year.
Three rivers are up for the honor: Delaware River, Perkiomen Creek and Youghiogheny River. The Youghiogheny, flows right through our region — from the Lauren Highlands into West Virginia.
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn says the three rivers are “remarkable examples” of the state’s natural heritage.
“This competition not only highlights their unique qualities but also builds community pride and emphasizes their recreational, cultural, and economic importance. I can’t wait to see which waterway earns the 2025 title.”
You can help decide the winner by voting for your favorite river. Voting opened Monday and continues until Jan. 24. Click here to vote.
The winning river’s nominating organization will receive a $10,000 grant to fund year-long celebrations.
