Mike Comfort:
This lake is called ''Lake Long''. It is located at Delmont Scout Reservation. It was created in 1947 by damming the Unami (until 1917-Swamp) Creek. It was named in honor of Harvey Long, the first ranger at Camp Delmont. Harvey's family lived in the area for many years. I believe his father fought in the Civil War, in the 28th PA infantry.
The Unami Creek was once the site of a thriving gun powder industry from about 1776-1900. The surrounding area is now a popular spot for fishing, hiking, cycling, etc. And still retains a pastorial atmosphere, with little change to the landscape from time immemorial.
-Mike Comfort, author: ''A Whale Boat on the Unami-stories and legends from a time long ago'', c. 1991.

Hotel & Suites Quakertown, Pa, and a round of golf at nearby Macoby Run Golf Course is a great way to kill some time. You imagine that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Why not have a look at close by Ridge Valley Creek while you're

The snow is good at Spring Mountain, and there's whitewater on Tohickon Creek for all you adrenaline people. The surroundings
of this lake have so much to offer. At Lake Delmont you always meet someone from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton; a day on the slopes of Bear Creek is just what you need.
