Tucquan Park Family Campground

Lake Aldred
 | Where can I obtain daily water conditions, i. e. , water turbidity, debris conditions,water level, etc. For Lake Aldred. This summer's frequent storms have muddied local feeder streams to the extent that they are almost unfishable. Lake Aldred is a favorite smallmouth and walleye fishery since my return to PA ten years ago. This summer has been a real bummer on the river. ... |
Muddy Creek - Susquehanna Tributary
 | 1 PHOTO ...eyes. an eddy came up over the back of the canoe. started filling the boat up, fast. I got about 4 inches in and I was only half way through the system. By the grace of god and me stopping everything I was doing and curling up into a ball, I got out. I almost got capsized 3 or 4 times after that. every time I tried to paddle the weight would redistribute. hit some white water tossed a rope to my buddy and he pulled me up on the beach. Now by this point it went from enjoying the scenery and having a blast to are we going to be able to finish this creek? I quit taking pictures. I had my camera in the kayaks dry storage. I really wish I documented this trip better, but I did not want to get murdered when I got home for ruining the digital cam my girlfriend got me.

Deer Creek
| 14 miles away There are many put in and take out spots along the creek. A nice paddle is Eden Mill park down to Rocks state park. Put in by parking at Eden Mill Nature Center off of Gwan Grove rd. Take out at the parking area under the king and queen seats off 24 in rocks (by old consesion stand. Do not paddle further unless you are an accomplished paddler due to the immediate section after the take out. It is a fall line creaed shoot that drops about 35 feet over 100 yards and narrows to 1/3 original wifth. Not difficult but intimidating and surprising if not ready and has a potential pin spot below biggest drop.... |

Pinch Pond Family Campground
| 16 miles away This is a nicely maintained campground... nice showers, laundry facilities, pool, store, etc. Lots to do in the area. Downside is the noise of the Turnpike which is so close you could touch it. If you are a heavy sleeper, this is the place for you! Otherwise, try to get a site as far away from the tpk as possible... even then, you still hear the rumble but not as much.... |
