Summer weather in April!

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Who would have thought we would have summer weather in April. Last weekend was great weather for whitewater rafting in the Lehigh Gorge State Park, and Dam release whitewater weekends start on May 9th! Be sure to book your trip early on dam releases as every year they are getting more popular! What better way to spend a hot summer day than whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River! The best pocono whitewater there is!

More rain today, Francis walter dam at 63 feet

We got a little more rain today, although the next couple days are forecast to be cold and rainy, by Thursday the Dam should have all the water for the 2009 Dam release whitewater weekends. That means the river will be running great on Thursday with lots of springtime sunshine!

Warmer today and the francis walter dam almost full
