Free Fishing Event

Join Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, the Pike-Wayne Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Project Healing Waters, for a free fishing clinic on September 20, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
 
The fishing clinic will start at the Zane Grey Museum located at 135 Scenic Drive in Lackawaxen, PA and then move down to the Lackawaxen Access.
 
Participants will learn casting techniques, knot tying, fish identification, fishing regulations, and more. All fishing equipment will be provided, and participants will have the opportunity to practice casting as well as trying their hand on catching a fish on the banks of the Delaware.
 
This clinic is open to everyone of all ages or fishing abilities so grab a friend or bring your family and enjoy spending a day on the banks of the Delaware learning the art of fishing.
 
The Upper Delaware River and its tributaries support a diverse array of fish species. The river’s consistently high-water quality provides critical habitat for a variety of fish species from many different families. The Delaware River is unique among large eastern rivers because it remains undammed throughout the length of its mainstem.
 
Registration is required as spots are limited. Please email ingrid_peterec@nps.gov to save your spot. For more information, please visit Free Fishing Clinic with Trout Unlimited and Project Healing Waters.

Vintage Baseball Game

Vintage Baseball Game

Vintage Baseball Game

Come one, come all and take a step back in time in Lackawaxen, PA with the Mountain Athletic Club and the Elizabeth Resolutes as they go head-to-head in a vintage baseball game set for 12:00PM Saturday August 23, 2025, at Veterans’ Memorial Park. The National Park Service and the Zane Grey’s West Society cordially invite the public to help cheer on these baseball clubs who play by the 1867 & 1895 baseball regulations while dressed in vintage uniforms.

Why a vintage baseball game in Lackawaxen? Before author Zane Grey began his famed writing career, he attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia on a baseball scholarship while studying dentistry. Grey’s passion and talent for baseball would lead him to play for the Orange Athletic Club in New Jersey after graduating college. Even though Grey’s minor league baseball career was short lived, it would lead him to write on the topic including The Red Headed Outfielder, The Short Stop, and The Young Pitcher.

This free event will surely be fun for the whole family. Children are encouraged to show up in their local baseball and softball uniforms to show their team spirit and for a fantastic photo opportunity with the vintage baseball teams and the life sized cut out of Zane Grey in his baseball uniform.
