Governor Tom Corbett recently wrapped up a two-day kayak tour of the Upper Delaware and Pocono region highlighting the area’s natural assets and their contribution to tourism and the local economy.  The Pocono Record reported that his visit to Monroe County within the Kittatinny Ridge and Corridor brought talk of a connected regional system of trails.

“And Christine Dettore, acting director of the Monroe Planning Commission, discussed a plan that would connect many of the hiking trails in the county and would connect the McDade Trail in the national recreation area to the Appalachian Trail.

Corbett, who also visited Pike and Wayne counties during his kayak tour, said all these initiatives promote economic development.”
