Hemlocks to Hellbenders

Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania’s coal region, Delaware Canal State Park stands as a testament to the intertwining of history and nature.
Stretching almost 59 miles from Easton to Bristol along the Delaware River, this park is made up of a tapestry of landscapes that begs to be explored by foot, bike and boat.

You can spend a lifetime exploring this unique park, and still discover something new every day.
On this episode, I speak with Gabie Lent. Gabie is the Environmental Education Specialist at Delaware Canal and Ralph Stover State Parks.
