DIRECTIONS: To reach the access road from PA 60, take Exit 12 and head south on PA 18 for 2.3 miles. The access road is on the right just 100 feet past a traffic light at the entrance to a chemical plant. There is also a small brown sign here that says "Montgomery L/D." The road terminates at the service entrance for Montgomery Dam, to which access is restricted, about 1.5 miles from PA 18. The road runs along a steep hillside on the left, and wooded areas on the right between the road and the Ohio River. The hillside has historically been one of the most reliable locations in Beaver County for Worm-eating Warbler, which has been detected as a breeding species there on occasion. At the very least, one can usually be turned up during migration between about the last week of April and the second week of May. Migrant activity in both spring and fall can be excellent along this road. There are a few pullouts; it is suggested that you park your car in one of them and bird the road by foot. Another productive location nearby for spring and fall birding is the bottom end of Raccoon Creek, which flows into the Ohio River nearby. From the Montgomery Dam access road, turn left on to PA 18 North (back toward PA 60) and proceed 0.3 miles to a right turn onto Raccoon Creek Road. There is no road sign here; if you cross over a blue bridge that spans Raccoon Creek itself you went too far. The next two to three miles of this road are largely undisturbed and can be productive for general birding. Yellow-throated Warbler are often found along this road in April and May. When finished birding this road, return to PA 18 and turn right to return to PA 60.
