Pictures from Lackawanna River, Pennsylvania: The upper section (Stillwater Dam to Simpson) has terrific whitewater, pretty much non stop. Mainly class 1 - 2 with the exception of a 5 foot ledge split by a rock ''islet''. Take a straight pourover on the right or a twisting spiraling flume on the left. Either way scout for wood beforehand. (I chose left...it was a nice day for a swim) - Dan This year the Lackawanna River Corridor Association's Riverfest will take place on May 10, 2008. Visit their website for the incidentals. A fun race of 11 or 8 miles to the finish line in Scranton. - Dan Jump rock and swing: Archbald - Dan Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Input Submission Guidelines     Map Detailed Map Stats Stats for this river stretch Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Lackawanna River.   Whitewater Near Lackawanna River: Lackawanna River, Lackawanna / LuzerneCounty, 0 miles away       Class I-IV - 26.8 miles long (Carbondale to Susquehanna River) Bear Creek, LuzerneCounty, 9 miles away       Class I-III - 6.6 miles long (Pennsylvania Route 115 to Walter Dam) Spring Brook, LackawannaCounty, 10 miles away       Class II-IV - 7 miles long (Nesbitt Reservoir to Moosic) Lehigh River, CarbonCounty, 13 miles away       Class II(III) - 6.75 miles long (Francis Walters Dam to White Haven) Whitewater Outfitter - Lehigh Rafting Rentals, LuzerneCounty, 14 miles away       Whitewater outfitter Lehigh River, CarbonCounty, 15 miles away       Class II-III - 9 miles long (White Haven to Rockport) Harveys Creek, LuzerneCounty, 17 miles away       Class II-IV - 6.5 miles long (SR 1059 to Susquehanna River) Bowman Creek, WyomingCounty, 17 miles away       Class I-II - 10.2 miles long (Pennsylvania Route 309 to Susquehanna River) Wapwallopen Creek, LuzerneCounty, 19 miles away       Class I-II - 5.2 miles long (LR40022 to Camp Keller) Lehigh River, CarbonCounty, 20 miles away       Class II-III - 12.5 miles long (Rockport to Glen Onoko)   Ski Areas Near Lackawanna River: Sno Mountain, Pennsylvania , 9 miles away, 1020 foot drop, 7 lifts, 30 runs Jack Frost, Pennsylvania , 15 miles away, 600 foot drop, 10 lifts, 21 runs Big Boulder, Pennsylvania , 20 miles away, 475 foot drop, 7 lifts, 16 runs Elk Mountain, Pennsylvania , 26 miles away, 1000 foot drop, 6 lifts, 27 runs Blue Mountain, Pennsylvania , 33 miles away, 1082 foot drop, 9 lifts, 33 runs Camelback, Pennsylvania , 34 miles away, 800 foot drop, 15 lifts, 34 runs Mount Airy Lodge, Pennsylvania , 35 miles away, 250 foot drop, 3 lifts, 6 runs Alpine Mountain, Pennsylvania , 41 miles away, 500 foot drop, 5 lifts, 21 runs Ski Big Bear, Pennsylvania , 41 miles away, 650 foot drop, 5 lifts, 18 runs Tanglwood, Pennsylvania , 44 miles away, 415 foot drop, 4 lifts, 8 runs   Marinas Near Lackawanna River: Sewall Marina, Factoryville , 12 miles away Marina Pointe, Harveys Lake , 18 miles away   Hotels Near Lackawanna River: Super 8 Pittston, Pittston , 3 miles away Knights Inn - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Pittston, Pittston , 3 miles away Holiday Inn Express WILKES-BARRE/SCRANTON(AIRPORT), Pittston , 4 miles away Red Roof Inn Wilkes Barre Arena, Wilkes-Barre , 5 miles away BEST WESTERN PLUS East Mountain Inn & Suites, Wilkes-Barre , 5 miles away   Campgrounds Near Lackawanna River: Highland Campground, Dalton, 8 miles away How Kola Camp, Dalton, 11 miles away Camp Orchard Hill, Dallas, 13 miles away   Trails Near Lackawanna River: Pinnacle Trail, Lackawanna , 5 miles away Refuge Trail, Lackawanna , 12 miles away Choke Creek Trail, Lackawanna , 13 miles away Boulder Field Trail, Carbon , 19 miles away   Public Lands Near Lackawanna River: Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Bethlehem - PA , 45 miles away Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River, Beach Lake - PA , 49 miles away Frances Slocum State Park, Pennsylvania , 7 miles away Lackawanna State Park, Pennsylvania , 14 miles away Lehigh Gorge State Park, Pennsylvania , 18 miles away   Golf Courses Near Lackawanna River: Fox Hill Country Club, Pittston , 1 miles away Applewood Golf Course, Pittston , 5 miles away Hollenback Golf Club, Wilkes Barre , 6 miles away   Lakes Near Lackawanna River Meadow Run Lake, Luzerne , 5 miles away Mountain Lake, Luzerne , 10 miles away Lake Scranton, Lackawanna , 11 miles away
