Explore the Possibilities

Explore the Austin Dam Memorial Park in Austin PA, a vivid reminder of one of Pennsylvania's worst disasters, the Austin Flood in 1911. The ruins of the dam still stand today, surrounded by a 76-acre park, as a tribute to the lives lost in the Austin Flood.

Look for updates and more events to be added.

Open to the public.

Please, stay off the Austin Dam ruins. This is a historical landmark. You are visiting a historic landmark, a place where a great tragedy occurred a century ago. This is a place of historical significance, and we expect that you will respect it as such. Stay away from the Bayless Pulp and Papermill ruins and view only from a safe distance.

Special Announce: Due to private events that are being held at the Austin Dam Memorial Park, the park will be closed to the public on these days in August. Park will be closed to the public on August 15th through the 18th and August 22th through 25th. Sorry for the inconvenience.
