More about Gold, Pennsylvania...
The headwaters of three famed tributaries—Pine Creek and the Genesee and Allegheny rivers—begin their descent from a 2,500-foot hill near Gold, Pa., each flowing downstream through its own unspoiled wilderness in northern Pennsylvania. In the heart of “God’s Country,” as it’s called, this area contains some of the state’s few remaining wilderness trout watersheds and a significant number of Class A Wild Trout and naturally reproducing trout waters.

Good resource! Grew up near Rochester and was explaining to my West coast friends the Genesee Gorge. I’ve rafted the upper regions of the river in the spring, but didn’t know the source. Gold is kind of like the Tibetan Plateau where the Yangtze, the Brahmaputra and the Mekong all start.
