Mariton: View from the River

by Tim Burris, Preserve Manager

Maureen and I were supposed to canoe with friends over the weekend on the Tohickon Creek during the release of water from Lake Nockamixon.  Unfortunately, there was an equipment problem and the State Park was unable to release water.  Since we already had our boats loaded and were dressed in our dry suits, we decided to paddle on the Delaware River.

It was a beautiful day Saturday.  We saw a Bald Eagle eating something on the shore when we also stopped for snacks.  This is a photo I snapped of Mariton from the river.

Here is our group.
