EAGLE WATCHING ON YOUR OWN
The Upper Delaware Visitor Center in Lackawaxen, PA is generously provided by the National Park Service Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and staffed by conservancy volunteers. It is a center of information for visitors looking to learn more about viewing and protecting eagles. Visitors can pick up information about the bald eagle in the Upper Delaware River region, get maps and directions to eagle viewing locations, watch a short film, and view interpretive exhibits. The visitor center is staffed on Saturdays and Sundays in January and February, beginning January 4th, and open to visitors from 10am-4pm.
