DCNR Cancels Whitewater Release into Tohickon Creek in Bucks County

​Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania -- The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) will not conduct its semiannual November whitewater release from Lake Nockamixon into Tohickon Creek due to low water levels.

Due to dry conditions and no rain in the 10-day forecast, water levels in Lake Nockamixon are a foot below what's needed for a whitewater release from the dam.

Releases are historically scheduled on a semiannual basis, usually occurring on the third weekend in March and the first weekend in November.

For more information, contact Nockamixon State Park at 215-529-7300 or Delaware Canal State Park at 610-982-5560.
