I have been boating on the Lehigh for over 15 years and as a resident of White Haven have never had a problem running the top section. We fought for years to get the access open at the turnpike bridge and finally a court ruling opened it. Just stay to far river left when you come into White Haven and take out under the 80 Bridge not the town bridge. If you get ticketed, Fight it. The Gorge runs all the way to F.E Walter, so it it open to all. BTW, The top is the best run on the river over 6000 CFS. Huge waves, Massive holes and access is easy. If you are a beginer don't even think about it.
