In a national heritage area natural, cultural, historical and recreational resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape arising from patterns of human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make national heritage areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in the areas. Continued use of the national heritage areas by people whose traditions helped to shape the landscapes enhances their significance., Schuylkill River Trail , The Schuylkill River Trail is the spine of the Heritage Corridor, extending more than 100 miles from its confluence with the Delaware to it's headwaters in Schuylkill County.
