Tyler State Park Removes Historic Dam | Philadelphia News

Tyler State Park is set to remove its historic 225-foot Spring Garden Mill Dam — the second-largest dam removal in Pennsylvania’s history — starting September 8th, tackling safety hazards, restoring fish migration, and reviving Neshaminy Creek’s natural flow. Funded by $1.3 million from federal and state agencies, the project includes relocating endangered turtles and closing a trail section while keeping the park open. This long-awaited demolition honors both ecological restoration and human safety, honoring the memory of park ranger Alec Campbell who tragically drowned near a similar dam last year.
