DIRECTIONS: From PA 61 and PA 895 in Deer Lake, go north on PA 61 for 3.3 miles and turn left onto Adamsdale Road (two roads go left at this point, Adamsdale Road is the second (westernmost) one). Continue 0.9 mile and turn left (south) on Meadow Drive. Go 0.8 mile and turn left on Canal Street. Go through the park, along the river, and over the one-lane bridge 0.9 mile to the parking area on the left. Canal Street becomes Tunnel Road south of this point. Bartram Trail goes both ways from the parking area, either south towards the desilting basin alongside the marsh, or north towards the Landingville ballpark alongside the river. The trail at this point is on the east side of the road, but crosses over just south of the parking lot and follows the east side of the marsh. You can walk entirely around the marsh by getting off the Bartram Trail at the southern end of the marsh and circling to the right. This trail rejoins Canal Street just south of the bridge mentioned above. This loop is about 1 mile. If you continue south on the Bartram Trail another 0.5 mile instead of looping around the marsh, you will come to the desilting basin, which has a large colony of Bank Swallows. This can also be viewed from Canal Street 0.4 mile south of the parking lot. Return to Landingville on Canal Street, and turn left at the ballpark onto Meadow Drive. Continue for 0.6 mile to the intersection with Deibert's Valley Road. Turn right and pull into the pull-off immediately on the left. There is a small marsh on the southwest corner of this intersection worth checking. Across Meadow Drive, you can climb over the guardrails for a view of the river entering the lake. This can be good for shorebirds if the water is low. Continue 1.2 miles south on Meadow Drive to the entrance for the dam area on the left. There are two roads. The first goes to a small parking area used by fishermen. The other goes to the boat launching area. Both should be checked for slightly different views of the lake.
