On the Ghost Town National Recreation Trail. Photographer's Notes: The area just east of Vintondale was the location of an extensive coal processing facility. The structures are gone, and the area had long been a barren wasteland. An art project has restored this area, converting it to a park with a series of ponds for water quality remediation, artistic installations, and some ball fields
