Lackawaxen - By Charles Peterson

Concerning the Lackawaxen River between Kimbles and the town of Lackawaxen, a Times-Tribune article a few years ago stated: Home to exceptional trout waters and a corridor where the bald eagle roams in Wayne and Pike counties, the Lackawaxen River has been designated River of the Year for 2010 by the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources." In part the Times-Tribune item captures the essence of Towpath Rd., with its natural beauty and occasional scent of live fish swimming in the river, between Kimbles and Rowland. Also, remnants of stone locks and the old Delaware & Hudson Canal seen along the way, inspire images in one's imagination of times past.
