Fishing near Lackawaxen, PA
Lackawaxen sits at the confluence of the Lackawaxen and Delaware Rivers in Pike County, in the northeastern Pennsylvania Poconos. The Lackawaxen River — named from the Lenape word for "swift waters" — runs 31.3 miles through Wayne and Pike Counties and is one of the most celebrated freestone trout streams in the region, voted Pennsylvania River of the Year in 2010. The lower 10 miles near town are a hydro-power tailwater fed by cold releases from Lake Wallenpaupack, producing trout-holding conditions and hatches that rival the nearby Delaware.
