  • 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.

  • Appalachian Trail History Grandma Gatewood’S Walk
    Appalachian Trail History Grandma Gatewood’s Walk October 1921 “An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning.” by Benton MacKaye appears in the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. [TY] March 3, 1925 Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) established. [TY] May 1928 A second ATC meeting… The reworded purpose of the organization was to “promote, establish and maintain a continuous trail for walkers, with a system of shelters and other necessary equipment…” [TY] 1931 “…nearly half the trail had been marked – but mostly in the Northeast, where many trails had long been established and hiking communities had a history.” [p. 47] June 1931 Myron H. Avery elected to first of seven consecutive terms as ATC Chairman.”1 [TY] “[Myron] Avery… helped organize hiking clubs and plan undeveloped sections [of the A.T.]” [p. 47] 1933 “By 1933, the U.S. Forest Service and the southern clubs reported their third of the Trail completed.” [TY] 1934 “Clubs reported completion of 1,937 miles of trail.” [TY] 1935 “The Appalachian Trail – first in Maine, later in southern states – became an item on the agenda of the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps.” [TY] 1936 “[Myron Avery] …became the first ‘2,000-miler’ on the footpath.” “By that time, he had walked and measured every step of the flagged or constructed route...” [Note he accomplished this in sections, not in one continuous hike.] [TY] August 14, 1937 “Appalachian Trail completed as a continuous footpath.” [TY] October 15, 1938 “…the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service executed an agreement to promote the trailway concept on the 875 miles of federal lands along the A.T.

  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

  • FAQ: HR 799 & S. 403: North Country National Scenic Trail Route Adjustment
    FAQ: HR 799 & S. 403: North Country National Scenic Trail Route Adjustment Act Exactly what does HR 799/S. 403 call for? These bills simply amend the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 1244(a)(8)) by: (1) Substituting new language delineating the North Country National Scenic Trail’s total length (from 3200 to 4600 miles); (2) Re-defining the eastern terminus as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Vermont; and (3) Substituting a new map reference for the original, showing the Minnesota Arrowhead and the eastern terminus extension. So what does this accomplish? H.R. 799/S. 403 completes the original vision for the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST) by extending the eastern terminus to link with the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. And, this legislation legitimizes the de-facto route of the NCNST in Minnesota since 2005, with the formal inclusion of Minnesota’s Superior Hiking, Border Route and Kekekabic Trails as officially part of the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST). Wait--going from 3200 to 4600 miles sounds like a lot more than that! The original 1980 authorizing legislation contains the language “a trail of approximately 3200 miles.” This was clearly an estimate, since almost none of the NCNST had been built when the 1970’s feasibility studies estimated its length. Since then much of the NCNST has been constructed and the route identified; the trail is on the ground and we have more sophisticated tools for measuring it. As it turns out, in order to carry out Congress’ intent for the original NCNST the actual mileage is closer to 4100 miles, even without the Minnesota Arrowhead or the eastern terminus extension into Vermont (which add another 500 miles).
