Water Type: 
Class III

This is the lower section of the lehigh. Bigger features, more flatwater, a bit less play than the upper section. This is generally considered the better run by the locals.

There is no direct gauge, so inflow from sidestreams has to be inferred between the dam and Lehighton.
