Explore a Northampton County park in a whole new way by snorkeling beneath the surface of the Lehigh River! This guided river experience invites participants to discover the hidden world of macroinvertebrates, fish, and aquatic habitats while learning what these organisms reveal about water quality and river health. 
 
Participants may spot schools of fish, sunfish turning red as they guard their nests, and even trout zipping by in the current.
