Beltzville Dam Hike and Paddle - Saturday June 13, 2009
5 miles
John tried this hike last September 27, but a hurricane washed out that day's plans! This is a relatively flat hike on the densely wooded north side of the Beltzville Dam near Lehighton. After the hike we can paddle or relax on the south side of the lake. Bring "viddles" (lunch) and your canoe or kayak if desired. Bad weather AGAIN is not good!
First Meeting Place: 9:30 am at Redner's Market on Route 61 in Leesport
Second Meeting Place: 10:30 am at the Beltzville Dam Visitor's Center on Pohopco Drive
