Water and Power: Creating Lake Wallenpaupack (Poconos)

[@vexanarian]

learned more from this one video then i did my freshman year of highschool at wallenpaupack taking the dam trip

[@WallyLife]

Glad we could provide additional information!

[@PorchHonkey]

One of my great uncles worked on that project.

[@WallyLife]

Really! Did he have any stories?

[@tones.g3146]

Thank you for the information 😊

[@WallyLife]

My pleasure 😊

6:10 great video on the project of lake wallenpaupack and the reason for the damn. My only question though is.. does your nuts hurt when cross sitting like that?

[@WallyLife]

Thanks for your comments! Not sure if I understand your question, though.

[@camronortiz5544]

Damn I live here and I didn't even know this much nice job

[@WallyLife]

Thank you! A lot of interesting history in this area.

Great to learn this history of the lake, packed with lots of great old photos too, Thanks!

[@johnm2617]

😮 Fish here alot ! Spring and fall ! Too many idiots their in the summer months ! Some underwater footage would be so cool ! Theirs house foundations! Roads ! And lots of standing timber

[@WallyLife]

I would love to get underwater footage but the water is so murky and visibility is limited to a few feet.

[@kevinboone9380]

Great Video!!! Thanks for that!

[@WallyLife]

Thank you for your comment and for watching!

[@DJTasawennatekenOfficial]

I grew up right in this area on St Mary's Church road right outside of lake wallenpaupack road entrance

[@WallyLife]

Thank you for the comment! Do you ever get back here to see how things have changed?

[@smplyizzy]

Great video. Does anyone know if they provide tours of the power house?

[@WallyLife]

They used to provide tours when PPL owned the dam, but I don't believe they give tours any longer.

[@smplyizzy]

@@WallyLife that sucks. Thank you for responding.

[@thenobullshtchannel8768]

No

[@jaysmith1408]

I’m drawing a blank, where exactly are the falls? I’d imagine fairly close to the dam now.

[@WallyLife]

Which falls are you referring to?

[@WallyLife]

There are falls behind the Silk Mill in Hawley and Ledges Hotel.

[@jaysmith1408]

@@WallyLife the falls alluded to for the placement of the reservoir in the first place.
