Swatara Gap is a water gap through Blue Mountain formed by the Swatara Creek in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

The Appalachian Trail passes through the gap over the Waterville Bridge in Swatara State Park.

[3] "Swatara" comes from a Susquehannock word, Swahadowry or Schaha-dawa, which means "where we feed on eels".

Ancient Native Americans built dozens of eel-weirs, V-shaped rock barriers designed to funnel eels to facilitate capture, on the Susquehanna River and its tributaries.
