Aquetong Dam Removal underway

[Smike]

After a many years, the project has finally started. Once the dam is removed, Ingham Spring which is about 50 yards upstream from the lake (2,000 gal per minute limestone spring) will provide cold water all the way to the Delaware. Aquatic insects are in abundance, just need the free the cold water from the lake. TU is planning on stocking it with a native strain brookies once restored.

Great news. Interesting they are only stocking Brookies, just hope the PFBC doesn't put a hatchery at its headwaters... Can't wait to see the results.
