Perfectperfect Forfor Peacefulpeaceful Ppaddlingaddling Compiled by Art Michaels PerfectPerfect forfor PeacefulPeaceful PaddlingPaddling compiled by Art Michaels LE IL H A The 31-mile Lehigh River Water Trail Southern Section begins at the I G R Lehigh Gap and ends at the confluence of the Lehigh River with the Dela- H T ware River, in Easton. The Southern Section widens and tends to provide R R more tranquil paddling than the Northern Section. Rolling hills and for- IV TE ested riparian corridors characterize the land surrounding the Southern Sec- ER WA tion, so it offers better paddling opportunities for lesser-experienced paddlers and families. The Southern Section includes many accesses and passes through Southern the urban areas of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. Section Muskellunge Fishing Opportunities The Southern Section abounds with fishing opportunities. Trout are stocked in the water trail’s Northern Section from around Jim Thorpe to Bowmanstown, so the Southern Section’s best trout fishing occurs near and above the Lehigh Gap. The entire Southern Section is stocked with fingerling walleyes and muskies. The best walleye and musky action on the Lehigh encompasses nearly the entire South- ern Section, to Allentown’s Hamilton Street area. Smallmouth bass are also avail- able in the Southern Section, and action for smallmouths is best throughout the entire Southern Section. In spring, American shad are also present, mainly near Easton through Allentown’s Hamilton Street area, but consider the Lehigh River’s special regulations for shad in the Summary of Fishing Regulations and Laws. An- glers will also find channel catfish in the Southern Section. Throughout the Southern Section, regulations for Commonwealth inland waters apply. Be sure to check regulations, seasons and consumption advisories in the Summary of Fishing Regulations and Laws. www.fish.state.pa.us Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • May-June 2005 31 reek Mill C N LEHIGH RIVERCreek WATER TRAIL-SOUTHERN SECTION I Fireline A a Creek STATE GAMELAND Aquashicol T NO. 168 PALMERTON NSTATE GAMELAND U NO. 168 DAM RD Indian Cr ARD O HAZ M eek E U 946 Lehigh Gap RD LSTATE GAMELAND AIN Go interactive and online with NT Wildlife NO. 217 MOU the Lehigh River Water Trail: Big Information Center Walnutport Tr www.wildlandspa.org out Cr 873 WALNUTPORT eek SLATINGTON eek MAIN ST Cr ch Hokendauqua Creek Berts 145 248 Treichlers Bridge Creek Rockdale LAURYS Creek Fells STATION 2ND S Laurys Station LEHIGH RIVER T WATER TRAIL 329 DAM eek N ACCESS POINT Mil A PROJECT OF: Spring Cr Cementon WEA l C NORTHAMPTON reek CEMENTON VERSVI Run eek 873 LLE Dry auqua Cr Catas high County COPLAY Preserve Legend Abutments CATASAUQUA Easton Access Points CO STATE Rapids IGH GAMELANDCanals LEH RACE NO. 205 Stream Appalachian Trail Creek 309 Scenic River Areas Coplay Minor Roads MAUC Urban Areas Major Roads H CHU Catasauqua NK 145 RD Railroads Counties and 229 Open Water Watersheds 22 Obstructions State Park Lands RD KLEY DAM Dams State Game Lands MIC UNI Portage State Forest Lands dan Creek Jor Kimmets Lock WALBERT AVE Allentow LehighCounty DAM Canal P Hasse n Cr eek ST TILGHMAN ALLENTOWN 32 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • May-JuneEXIT 2005 www.fish.state.pa.us 56 22 HWAY HIG S 2 U.S. OLD 4 Creek ALONG THE WAY–SOUTHERN SECTION-BELOW THE LEHIGH GAP WALKING PURCHASE PARK – Located in Salisbury Township, this 400-acre wilderness park is on river right, adjacent to the Sterners Island group in the Lehigh River. It is located in an area dubbed a “metro-wilderness” because of the wild nature of its surroundings in one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the state – the Lehigh Valley. The name Walking Purchase Park derives from the fact that Solomon Jennings, one of the three participants of the infamous Walking Purchase, stopped his “run” and settled on this site in 1737. BETHLEHEM HISTORIC DISTRICT/SAND ISLAND – The city of Bethlehem is a remarkable city – history, culture, art, recreation (including a world-class trout stream – the Monocacy – cutting through the middle of town), an accessible historic district (featuring Moravian architecture), a charming downtown, and many festival events, including Musikfest and Celtic Fest – all within walking distance of the river. FREEMANSBURG – Freemansburg is an authentic canal town. Lock #44 was located here and a reconstructed mule barn occupies the same site as it did when the Lehigh NavigationCanal was in full operation from 1829 to 1932. HUGH MOORE PARK – One of the city of Easton’s principal river 987 parks, Hugh Moore Park (named for the inventor of the Dixie Cup) straddles the space between the Lehigh Navigation Canal and the river. There is a rich industrial history associated with the area before it was given to the city to be developed into a park by Hugh Moore. Here one finds one of the few remaining locktender houses and the only operating lock (among the 78 locks built) on the entire Lehigh Navigation System. BATH EASTON/TWO RIVERS LANDING – A remarkable success story, Two Rivers Landing contains the National Canal Mu- seum – a day’s visit all by itself – and the popular Crayola Factory 946 D where the manufacture of crayons is explained to over 300,000 E L visitors a year. The presence of these two world-class attractions A has helped to foster the economic resurgence of Easton’s down- W A town.

  • Class a Wild Trout Streams
    CLASS A WILD TROUT STREAMS STATEWIDE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS REVIEW STREAM REDESIGNATION EVALUATION Drainage Lists: A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, N, O, P, Q, T WATER QUALITY MONITORING SECTION (MAB) DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY STANDARDS BUREAU OF POINT AND NON-POINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION December 2014 INTRODUCTION The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required by regulation, 25 Pa. Code section 93.4b(a)(2)(ii), to consider streams for High Quality (HQ) designation when the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) submits information that a stream is a Class A Wild Trout stream based on wild trout biomass. The PFBC surveys for trout biomass using their established protocols (Weber, Green, Miko) and compares the results to the Class A Wild Trout Stream criteria listed in Table 1. The PFBC applies the Class A classification following public notice, review of comments, and approval by their Commissioners. The PFBC then submits the reports to the Department where staff conducts an independent review of the trout biomass data in the fisheries management reports for each stream. All fisheries management reports that support PFBCs final determinations included in this package were reviewed and the streams were found to qualify as HQ streams under 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). There are 50 entries representing 207 stream miles included in the recommendations table. The Department generally followed the PFBC requested stream reach delineations. Adjustments to reaches were made in some instances based on land use, confluence of tributaries, or considerations based on electronic mapping limitations. PUBLIC RESPONSE AND PARTICIPATION SUMMARY The procedure by which the PFBC designates stream segments as Class A requires a public notice process where proposed Class A sections are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin first as proposed and secondly as final, after a review of comments received during the public comment period and approval by the PFBC Commissioners.

  • Lehigh River
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Reclaiming PennsylvaniaAbandoned Mine Lands Improves the Lehigh River Metals and acidity in runoff from abandoned surface mines Waterbody Improved and discharges from abandoned deep mines impaired Pennsylvania’s Lehigh River and some of its tributaries, prompting the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to add 25.1 miles of watershed streams to the state’s Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters in 2002. Project partners reclaimed and treated 297.9 acres of abandoned mine lands to address pollutant loadings. Water quality improved downstream of the reclamation sites, allowing PADEP to remove a 14.7-mile-long segment of the Lehigh River from the list of impaired waters in 2012. Problem The headwaters of the Lehigh River flow from the Lehigh Marshes just north of Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania. The river then meanders 103 miles Lehigh River through eastern Pennsylvania, draining an area of Watershed approximately 1,363 square miles before flowing into the Delaware River near Easton, Pennsylvania (Figure 1). The Lehigh River is the second largest PA tributary to the Delaware River—its watershed comprises 11 percent of the Delaware River drainage basin. The upper and middle portions of the Lehigh River watershed, including portions of Carbon, Luzerne, Monroe, Schuylkill, Lackawanna, and Wayne counties, support high-quality trout fisheries. A 32-mile stretch of the Lehigh River (from the Francis E. Walter Dam to the borough of Jim Figure 1. The Lehigh River watershed (red) is in a portion of Thorpe) is designated as a Pennsylvania Scenic eastern Pennsylvania underlain by coal fields.
