Stackhouse Park Permanent Orienteering Course

Stackhouse Park in Johnstown, Pennyslvania, has a permanent orienteering course, prepared by the Western Pennsylvania Orienteering Club. A map can be picked up at the ranger station at the park entrance, and participants can go in the park and locate the signed stakes at the marked mapped features.

One interesting feature was a "stream split", as opposite of a "stream junction". A very small wet ground stream, probably fed by a perennial spring on a steep slope, was separated into two streams by a large tree, and stayed separated for the next 50 meters until they both joined the large stream at the below at the valley bottom.
