The Lehigh has been named the Pennsylvania’s “2007 River of the Year” by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and to help celebrate that even a full color poster of the river is available.

The free poster is a high quality 15” (h) x 22” (w) full color poster depicting canoers on the scenic Lehigh.

The river is 103 miles in length, beginning in the Pocono Region and flowing through the Lehigh Valley, before ending at the Delaware River in the City of Easton. In 1982, the reach of the river from the Francis E. Walter Dam to Jim Thorpe was designated a Pennsylvania Scenic River.

To order your free poster, visit the 2007 River of the Year webpage and fill out the order form. Telephone orders are also accepted by calling Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers 717-234-7910.
