MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 30, 2018 02:21 PM
From: Representative Garth D. Everett
To: All House members
Subject: Recognizing the Loyalsock Creek as the 2018 River of the Year
 
Please join me as a cosponsor of a House Resolution recognizing the Loyalsock Creek as the 2018 River of the Year.

As announced by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Pennsylvania Organization for Waterways and Rivers (POWR) in January, this year’s contest invited the public to vote online, choosing from among five waterways nominated across the state.

A total of 15,061 votes were cast, with the Loyalsock receiving 6,100; Connoquenessing Creek; 5,381; Lackawanna River, 1,676; Lower Susquehanna/Susquehanna Riverlands, 1,113; and Little Juniata, 791.

Home to legions of paddlers, anglers, and other outdoors enthusiasts in north central Pennsylvania, the 64 mile stretch of Loyalsock Creek, primarily located in Sullivan and Lycoming counties, flows through Worlds End State Park, a highly popular destination state park encompassing 780 acres, and Loyalsock Trail, a well-trekked 59-mile trail providing vistas overlooking the stream below.

Along with being a cold-water habitat for trout, it also supports a natural habitat for the Eastern Hellbender, the largest native amphibian in Pennsylvania that grows to 2 feet in length or more.

Presented annually since 1983, POWR administers the River of the Year program with funding from DCNR.

Please join me in recognizing the Loyalsock Creek’s new designation as 2018 River of the Year. Contact Chanin Zwing with any questions at 787-5270 or via e-mail at czwing@pahousegop.com.
