Rivers and Lakes Report

Outlook for the week of Wednesday, August 25 through Tuesday, August 31, 2010 as reported on Wednesday, August 25, 2010.

At the Lehigh River this weekend, you can enjoy one of the best whitewater dam releases of the entire summer.  You'll find great rapids and lots of them. Combined with picture perfect weather, it's a great opportunity for that last, end-of-summer getaway. You'll laugh, scream, and soak yourself silly on these guided whitewater rafting trips. No experience is needed. Reserve your rafting spaces at www.raftthelehigh.com

Got an itch to camp this weekend? Check out River Beach campgrounds off the scenic Delaware River! 160 sites on 18 beautiful acres and plenty of waterfront camping!  While your there, take a river trip, or explore the beautiful Delaware Islands!  Check out all the details at kittatinny.com!

The Lackawaxen River was named Pennsylvania's 2010 River of the Year. Its easy to fall in love with this canoer and kayaker's paradise!  Fisherman will concur that it's an oasis when fly fishing for trout!
