⚠️High Water Warning - Mandatory Life Jacket Wear⚠️

The Delaware River is expected to reach eight feet or above over the next two days. Life jackets are mandatory for all people in and on the water when the Montague Gage reads eight feet or above. River accesses close at 15 feet or above.

Avoiding river activities during times of high water is recommended, as the water becomes opaque and can cover or hide strainers and dangerous obstacles.

Stay safe. Stay afloat. Wear your life jacket! 🦺

To check the Montague Gage, visit https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/mtgn4

Even when the water is below eight feet, every individual must have their own life jacket within easy reach. Every individual 12 years of age and younger must wear a life jacket in any vessel, including tubes.

Yesterday some of our members brought our Rescue truck to the Truck Zoo at the Wayne County PA Library in Honesdale. There was a great turnout and lots of kids and families got to see the truck up close!
