Reply to comment by IamSauerKraut in Morgantown, Pa: Thoughts on a place to live for Outdoorsy people? by SLPallday

JFC, relax dude. OP asked specifically about mountain biking and kayaking and Lehigh Gorge State Park's Lehigh River is specifically well-known for it''s whitewater rafting and kayaking in the eastern half of the state as well as a lot of trail for cycling.

It was strictly to help OP and give them an eastern PA alternatives since tell me how much scenic kayaking and mountain biking is there in Morgantown?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have generally even mentioned it since it's not exactly like we need additional tourists here.

You're preaching the choir there, dude. No argument there.

I've wanted that to happen for his tribe's sake a long time now and for the town to go back to it's original name of Mauch Chunk.

I also think the downtown is overrated, the parking's terrible, we get too many tourists, and the borough's mayor and council are kind of incompetent.

However, the surrounding region's parks are outstanding and it's a nice area to live outside of JT.

I can't think of any town a hundred plus miles from me that I'd spend time hating on though.
