Lackawaxen PA: Where Two Rivers MeetSettled in a valley in Upper Delaware Region, the sleepy village of Lackawaxen PA is found where the Delaware and Lackawaxen Rivers come together.  In fact, “Lackawaxen,” is a Lenape name meaning “The Place where Two Rivers Meet”.  Leni-Lenape and Seneca tribes used the land along these two rivers for hunting and trading.

The Annual Ice Tee Golf Tournament on Lake Wallenpaupack is set for Sunday, January 26, 2014. This is one of the best winter events on Lake Wallenpaupack. Participants are in great spirits, enjoying the cold while playing a sport that typically takes a hiatus in our winter climate. The tournament is presented by the Pocono Lake Region Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Ehrhardt's Waterfront Restaurant & Resort and Crystal Cabin Fever (very appropriate since it is owned by a full service ice event company) . The golf tournament is held on frozen Lake Wallenpaupack and is quite a site to see. Two 9-hold courses are created just like a "green" course - the organizers take the time to create lined fairways, greens, water traps, obstacles and roughs. Even though they may not have "golfed t...
