Shehawken Access on the West Branch Repaired and Open

The Shehawken Access on the West Branch of the Delaware river is repaired and open for use.

The access was severely damaged from flooding during June when Shehawken Creek, which runs adjacent to the access, overflowed its banks and took much of the access road and parking area with it. Efforts by the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission resulted in the quick opening of the popular access area.

During Shehawken's closure, an access at the Route 191 bridge in the Village of Hancock, NY was repaired and put to use.
