"What's So Great About Pequea?"

  Holtwood    

The town of Holtwood and the Holtwood Hydroelectric Station are 
located just north of Pequea, on the Lower Susquehanna River.

The hydroelectric power station there was built in 1911 and has been 
continuously owned and operated by Pennsylvania Power and Light, LLC 
(PP&L). 

The power station includes a 2,000 foot, long 55-foot high dam and the 
nation's largest fish lifts. These lifts enable migrating American shad to 
continue their spring journey up the Susquehanna River to spawn.

PP&L's Land Management Division provides soil, water and wildlife 
habitat preservation overseeing more than 5,000 acres of land surrounding 
the lake along both shores of the Susquehanna River in Lancaster and York 
counties.
