Removal of a breached orphan dam began Monday that will leave the Conewango Creek completely free-flowing from New York State to the confluence with the Allegheny River. 

The Hospital Dam in the creek near Warren State Hospital has been creating dangerous currents for kayakers and canoers. It is being removed by American Rivers in partnership with the Conewango Creek Watershed Association, the state Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership.
