Here in Lehigh Valley, we’ve been slammed with nasty heat this summer, so I grabbed a buddy and headed southeast to Delaware River Tubing.
After parking, we wandered up to the large crowd of people, assuming that’s where we paid. Between waiting in line to pay and then waiting  for the free bus that took us and our [...]

After years of being out of town for RiverFest, I finally made it to this year’s event in Wilkes-Barre with a group of friends.  The Susquehanna River was the site for three days of paddling different sections of the river.
We launched from Nesbitt Park across from the new River Common which was where the rest [...]

Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here! It’s certainly not for lack of traveling and fishing. I’ve been hitting the waters of Pennsylvania almost every weekend in search of great fishing. This past weekend I had a unique opportunity to join three other anglers who specialize in Kayak fishing for a 3 [...]

Memorial Day is such a busy weekend. You know, with all that grilling, gardening, playing with the dog, and entertaining family and friends…BUT this year, I plan to add another activity to the list: the first-ever Susquehanna River Valley Confluence Celebration, May 29-30 at Shikellamy State Park.
The Celebration is all about the Susquehanna River – [...]

If you are planning to take advantage of Pennsylvania’s great outdoors this summer maybe consider a weekend of canoeing straight through the heart of the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
Located in Tioga County, near Wellsboro, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania offers outstanding canoeing and camping in one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic regions.

To experience that first streak of 60 degree weather is to experience a jolt of adrenaline. While it’s not exactly hot, it sure feels like it is after months and months of snow and ice. I’ve seen people in shorts and t-shirts already. This weather makes me want to do one thing [...]

As fall begins to wind down, I’m finding myself seeking opportunities to squeeze in one last “outdoor experience” – like a visit to a local attraction, a bike ride through the countryside, or a picnic lunch with a special someone. Because the truth is, if you live in Pennsylvania, you know that once the cold [...]

Fall can be one of the best times to be on the water casting away for those eager fish trying to fatten up before the long winter. I recently had the pleasure of fishing with a “band of anglers” from the Harrisburg area. Six anglers total converged on Shamokin, Pennsylvania for some  fall fishing in [...]

My son and I loaded up the kayaks and headed for Raystown Lake to chase some largemouth bass. We hit one of the no wake zones (Shy Beaver) and had a great time exploring the area and even paddled up some of the small tributaries of the lake. We didn’t catch any trophies today but [...]
