Reply To: Swatara Creek – Saturday – April 8, 2017

[Brian Palmer]

I think we are going to do a double header and I will do both days, since I had some interest in both Saturday and Sunday.

However, this all depends on water levels. Right now the Creek is at 3500 cfs at Pine Grove (the median for this time of year is about 300 cfs). We’ll have to see if it comes down over the next 24 hours. Check back here Saturday morning before heading out.

Saturday, we’ll do an upper section from Pine Grove to the Waterville Bridge in Swatara State Park. We can meet at the General Store at the Lickdale Campground at the Rt 72 exit off of I-81 at 10:00.

Sunday, we can do the section from Gravel Hill Road to Boathouse Park in Hershey, if the level is low enough. The park is just off Sand Beach Road and Boat House Road, to the North of the Hotel Hershey. Boathouse Road is between Hershey Park Drive and the creek, just off of Rt. 39; Boat House Park is upstream from Rt. 39. We can meet at the park at 11:00.
