Over the years there have been a few groups of us trying to get a park started in the Lehigh valley, There have been plans made and sites found and a lot of talk but not even a rock moved, so being the best potential for a park in the future we found a site in Northampton, Pa. Where there is a 8 foot dam breeching the Lehigh river, owned by a cement co. "La Farge" , they (I been told) have a few years to do something with the dam. So it would be a perfect opportunity to put in a WW park there as there is parking and a riverside park there already + the need for a type of fish ladder there as it impedes upstream migration at that very point on the Lehigh all the way to Francis Walter Dam(approx, 60 mi). I see many types of WW parks sort of become a fish ladder once installed, there were 3 dams with fish ladders installed to the tune of millions of dollars bellow this dam that could of been WW Parks but that was long ago. now we know these parks draw people and money to the area where there built year round. If anyone has any input on how we can sway the right people to get a project like this started please contact me @ riverdog5@verizon.net
