Event information
The word confluence is defined as a coming together. The town is well named as this is where the Youghiogheny River, Casselman River, and Laurel Creek join. It was called Turkeyfoot by the native Americans and early settlers because of its shape when seen from the surrounding mountaintops. This walk is in Somerset County.
