LETTER FROM THE EDITOR This year’s Summertime — Guide to the Upper Delaware focuses on some of the most iconic summer leisure activities.

What says “summertime” like swimming? Linda Drollinger reminiscences about the swimming holes of old, then gives a practical guide to the best venues for taking a cold plunge nowadays, from pools to lakes to the Delaware River (and a reminder that you should always wear your life jackets in the river).

During those long, hot days you can build up a powerful thirst. The emerging craft breweries of the Upper Delaware region are ready to satisfy that thirst with a variety of extraordinary local brews. Isabel Braverman has obtained some recommendations from them, including what they think are their best summer beers.

For those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, we offer “Drink it in,” by Laura Silverman. Interesting beverage options are all too often ignored when planning a barbeque, but Silverman has come up with a few ideas for drinks that are non-alcoholic, refreshing and include fresh local farm or foraged ingredients, for those who love that farm-totable theme.

Swimming is only one of many water-based activities, and Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania’s third-largest lake, offers a full panopl.y of them—including parasailing. Allison Mowatt takes you for a tour of activities in the area, including hiking and some of the many culinary and cultural amenities of nearby Hawley.

We hope you find plenty of ideas in this issue to help you explore the Upper Delaware during this year’s season. Here’s to summertime.

Swimming holes Then & Now

By LINDA DROLLINGER

Then UPPER DELAWARE REGION — “Swim at your own risk” signs writ large should have been posted at every old-time swimming hole. But, frequented almost exclusively by free-range kids, their exact locations and conditions were rarely known to responsible adults.

Nothing like the pristine chlorinated pools of today, swimming holes then were natural bodies of water hosting an abundance of aquatic wildlife. Frogs, fish, turtles, eels and water snakes proliferated in rivers and brooks, while freshwater mussels and leeches lived mostly in ponds, all of them mingling uneasily with human swimmers.

Ponds dotted the countryside. The rural answer to fire hydrants, one was strategically placed between the house and barn of every working farm. In winter, they were ready-made skating rinks; in summer, but for leeches and bullfrogs, they made excellent swimming holes.

The Ten Mile River deep hole was known only to a couple dozen natives between the ages of 12 and 15. Given its location in the middle of a cow pasture, swimmers had to pick their way in among cows and cow patties, trying to forget other gifts cows had left in the water. The guys bragged about skinny dipping, and the girls tried to catch them at it, secretly afraid that someday they would.

But for the bravest and most foolhardy, there was only one place to swim: The Delaware River: the iconic spot under the bridge in Narrowsburg. Besides the tractortrailer tire suspended from bridge girders, there was a diving board attached to the rock ledge on the New York side Daredevils hurtled toward the water from both. For all, it was the ultimate social swim experience.

Directly beneath the bridge, the water depth is 60 feet. The exact depth in the eddy is unknown, but estimated at more than 100 feet. The water is cold and the current swift, making for dangerous and occasionally lethal conditions. In best-case scenarios, swimmers emerged from the water with no more damage than an eel in the bathing suit.

Skinners Falls is a favorite Delaware River access, though there are rapids here and most go in with tubes that can be rented on the New York side of the river.

Gone are the natural swimming holes too numerous to count, victims of pollution, a prolonged drought in the’60s, the demise of local dairy farms and the privatization that followed. The farmland once home to ponds, brooks and streams in which all and sundry frolicked have been replaced by residential lots protected by fences and “No Trespassing” signs. Today, most local swimming holes are either in private pools or public parks.

The good news is that public parks come with amenities undreamed of in the past: parking, restrooms, bathhouses, pools, lifeguards, playgrounds, picnic tables, pavilions and barbeque pits, to name just a few. Designed for safety, comfort and convenience, they’re family-friendly places with facilities for a range of water sports as well as hiking, cycling and court sports.

Detailed information about some of the best of these one-stop outdoor recreation centers can be found in our swimming guide on page 10. They are: The Delaware River — If breathtaking scenery, colonial history and the chance of finding Native American artifacts are important to you, this could be your ideal swimming hole. Generations of Lenape people, followed by generations of European colonists and then American settlers have here found refreshment, joy and spiritual renewal (immersion baptisms have been held in these waters for centuries).

WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET: This river is as cold, deep, swift and rocky as ever.

The National Park Service advises that no one try to swim across the river. Despite National Park Service oversight, drownings are not uncommon. Life vests should be worn by everyone in or on the water. Not suitable for young children, this venue lacks many of the amenities found in other public parks, but the magnificent wild setting more than compensates.

The Delaware Youth Center pool is located right next to the amenities of the quaint river hamlet of Callicoon, NY.

Delaware Youth Center (DYC) — Both swimming and swim lessons for all ability levels are available at this outdoor pool, the lessons taught by certified instructors and the swimming overseen by certified lifeguards. To those who purchase a DYC membership, many other activities and benefits are also included. Memberships are more than reasonably priced—rates have not risen in over 30 years. But anyone who won’t be around for the whole summer can enjoy the same privileges with an equally affordable day pass.

Sandwiched between romantic Callicoon Creek and the Delaware River, DYC is conveniently located steps from Callicoon’s Lower Main Street business district, a celebrated food and frozen custard stand, and the only movie theatre in Sullivan County. Go for a swim, catch a matinee, grab dinner and have soft ice cream for dessert.

The pool at Francis A. Hanofee Memorial Park is only one of many park amenities.

Francis A. Hanofee Memorial Park — This Liberty, NY park is genteel enough for a church picnic, but boasting a lake, pool and sports facilities that include a sand volleyball court as well as tennis and basketball courts and baseball diamond; versatility is the hallmark here.

Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted in 24-acre Dixie Lake. Use the pool beside it. Between lake and pool are indoor and open-air pavilions equipped with picnic tables, mini-fridges, hotplates and microwave ovens. The perfect spot for a retreat, reunion or birthday swim party, parking is free. Pavilions can be rented by the day. And as with the Delaware Youth Center, swimming lessons are available.

Hot summer, cold beer Take a tour of the area’s craft breweries (and brews)

By Isabel Braverman There’s nothing like an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day. Summer and beer—the two just go hand in hand. Whether you’re sipping a brew on your porch on a breezy evening, or bringing a cooler to a picnic (carry out what you carry in!) the summertime provides the perfect days for drinking. Luckily, our area in recent years has become a hotspot for local breweries producing the finest craft beers. Three of the four establishments listed below brew beer on their own premises; the fourth, Callicoon Brewing Company, has brews custom-made off site.

Pay a visit to these local businesses and try a flight of beer to find your favorite.

IBU = International Bittering Units ABV = Alcohol by Volume

The Catskill Brewery Address: 675 Old Route 17, Livingston Manor, NY Phone number: 845/439-1232 Website: www.catskillbrewery.com Taproom hours (summer): Beginning Friday, May 27: Wed-Th 3-8pm; Friday 12-9pm; Saturday 12-9pm; Sunday 12-6pm; Monday 3-8pm Owners: Ramsay Adams, Kirt Gunn, Randy Lewis

What’s a good summer beer?

People usually think that Pilsners are the best summer beers. Our Ball Lightning Pilsner is a Czech-style pilsner that is full-flavored with good hop character, and very good for summer. I would also say that our dark lager, while being dark and toasty-flavored, is also one that is very thirst quenching, and is also one of our lower alcohol beers. We plan on doing summer seasonals that are refreshing and low alcohol, just like our ESB [extra special bitter] is at 4.9%.

What other beers do you offer? Can you describe their properties?

Floodwatch IPA: This beer is our first flagship beer; a refreshing, hoppy IPA. Nightshine Black Lager: An easy-drinking dark beer with great toasted malt character.

Devil’s Path IPA: A stronger IPA than Floodwatch with a nice balanced flavor.

Freak Tractor Wild Ale: This beer uses Brettanomyces yeast for its rustic and tropical flavor.

Darbee’s Irresistible: Darbee’s is our newest flagship beer. It’s a special, limited edition East Coast-style pale ale that has a very juicy hop character.

We also offer seasonal beers. Right now we have a Helles Bock that is fashioned after the traditional German lager, but we’ve added hops to give

it our own twist. And we are just about out of an ESB that we call our “CSB” (Catskill Special Bitter!), which is an homage to the classic working man’s British beer; our version uses both British and American hops and malts and is more hop-forward than the classic.

Our specialty beer program includes sour beers. We are currently aging a delicious Flanders Red Ale and something we’re calling our “Golden Sour,” which is an American Sour.

Can you sit at the bar?

Yes!

Can you take home bottles?

We are not yet in bottles or cans, but we will have our sours available in 750ml champagne-type bottles sometime during the summer. Customers can always take a growler or two home to enjoy!

What’s special about your brewery?

We are intrinsically environmentally aware. One of our owners is Ramsay Adams, the executive director of Catskill Mountain Keeper. The building we reside in was built by the brewery partners to be as green as possible. We are going for our Platinum Leeds Certification, and the building includes geothermal cooling systems, solar electrical and hot water generation all tied into our main systems. Part of our brewery also has a green roof growing perennial plants. We are extremely proud of this aspect of our identity. One other thing to note is that we think that our water is the best in the world; it’s incredibly pure and contributes immeasurably to the quality of our beer.

What’s a good summer beer?

What’s a good summer beer?

Summer wheat ales, fruit beers and shandys. It seems the most popular flavors are citrus based, and this year there are more mango and watermelon beers. Summer favorites at the brewery include Ballast Point Sculpin Grapefruit or Habanero, UFO: Big Squeeze—a grapefruit Shandy. This year we’re getting from Defiant Brewery, Pearl River, NY, creamsicle. Yes, it tastes just like a creamsicle.

Our Rip’s Purple Magic is our Gold-medal-winning beer; great for summer with its blueberry-raspberry flavor. The wheat beer is infused with raspberry and blueberry, and was awarded first place at 2016 Pocono Mountain Beer Fest.

IBU: 15, ABV: 8%

What other beers do you offer? Can you describe their properties?

Our own Callicoon Cow Pail Pale Ale is a very light beer. It’s actually a Kolsch; very refreshing and a perfect introduction beer for the non-craft beer drinkers, or if you want more than one—low in IBUs and only 4.1 ABV (alcohol by volume).

Our Brown Cow Porter is a very smooth easy-to-drink porter with coco and caramel overtones. A misconception many people have is that a dark beer is heavy, but that’s not always the case.

We’re a brewpub, so besides our own we offer other local beers and we usually have one tap devoted to a non-local beer. You can have a tasting flight with beers from 10 different craft breweries.

Can you sit at the bar?

Absolutely! We have a full bar: offer locally produced ciders, wines, liquors and a large selection of non-alcoholic beverages.

Can you take home bottles?

Growlers only, you can buy one of ours or we’ll fill one of your own.

Experience Lake Wallenpaupack

By Allison Mowatt Lake Wallenpaupack is almost synonymous with summertime in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Sometimes referred to as the “Big Lake,” it’s located in the Lake Region of the Pocono Mountains and is the thirdlargest lake in the state, measuring 13 miles in length and spanning 52 miles of shoreline.

There is no shortage of fun for families, whether it’s right on the water or immediately surrounding it. Warm, sunny days call for lakeside amusement, whether it’s from the shoreline, on a boat or even high in the sky.

There are four campgrounds; picnic areas; fishing access spots; boat

launches; a plethora of marinas; lakeside restaurants; some specialty shops; lodging facilities such as cottages, resorts and vacation homes; walking trails; annual events; and a wide variety of activities.

Some of the excitement in and out of the water includes the Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat Tour (www. wallenpaupackboattour.com), providing unparalleled views of the lake. Climb aboard a pontoon boat, sit back and relax and learn the history of the lake during a 50-minute excursion. The boat tour is very popular from spring through fall.

The lake also hosts one of the most thrilling experiences in the area: parasailing, an activity provided by Contributed photos

You can learn the history of Lake Wallempaupack while enjoying a boat tour of the lake.

Lake Wallenpaupack hosts one of the most thrilling experiences in the area: parasailing.

18 • SUMMERTIME - AN UPPER DELAWARE MAGAZINE 2016

Pocono Action Sports (www.poconoactionsports.com) at Lighthouse Harbor Marina on Route 507 during the season. “I felt like a bird parasailing over Lake Wallenpaupack,” said Keith Williams, manager of the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center. “It was so easy to do, and I felt very safe as they slowly let line out and I lifted hundreds of feet above the water. I could see everything below me. It was fantastic!

I can’t wait to do it again.”

Pocono Action Sports is only one of a number of businesses renting all kinds of boats and water vehicles on Lake Wallenpaupack—jet skis, fishing boats, motor boats, sailboats, pontoon boats, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and more. Others include Wallenpaupack Boat Rentals (www.wallenpaupackboattour. com) at East Shore Lodging, Lighthouse Harbor Marina (lighthouseharbor.com), Rubber Duckie (www. rubberduckieboatrentals.com) and The Boat Shop (www.paboatshop. com).

For hiking opportunities, be sure to walk the Wallenpaupack Lake Trail, which also encompasses the

Creek Trail. Although this is not a pet-friendly trail, it offers beautiful views of the lake, beginning at the Tafton Dike and ending at the dam, about a three-mile hike in its entirety.

The trail goes past the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center (www. poconomountains.com) and the PPL Environmental Learning Center (www.lakewallenpaupackhydro. com), and both facilities can be accessed from the trail. Stop in the Visitors Center for information about the area, look through the viewing scope, or borrow a free rod and tackle equipment for fishing through a program where the equipment is available to the public on loan for up to seven days. Only a fishing license is required.

If you’re looking for something pet friendly, try Discover Shuman Point trail, a three-mile loop off Route 590, with views of the lake. This trail is one of the last undeveloped areas around the lake. This wooded trail offers abundant opportunities for viewing wildlife and a variety of trees and wildflowers.

Don’t miss these annual events: July 4: Lake Wallenpaupack fireworks. This popular annual event is set to take place on July 4 at approximately 9 p.m. The fireworks are set off near the Wallenpaupack Area High School.

Parking is available in the high school parking lot and the bleachers will open at approximately 7 p.m. In addition, people can view the fireworks along the Tafton Dike, the Dam Overlook, Mangan Cove and by boat from the lake. Be sure to arrive early for an ideal viewing spot. The rain date is July 5.

August 26-28: Wally Lake Fest. The seventh annual Wally Lake Fest transforms the shores and surrounding area of Lake Wallenpaupack and downtown Hawley. The weekend will be packed full of fun and excitement with an openfair market; canoe, stand-up paddleboard and kayak demos; sailboat rides; a boat parade; an ice cream social; the Motorcycle “Ride for the Lake;” and Wallypalooza—featuring live music on the lake with a floating stage, live music at area restaurants, free shuttle services to events and much more.

And for those hot summer nights (or rainy summer days...)

For other options on dry land, or in case it’s a rainy day, take time to stroll through the beautiful, charming town of Hawley—the Lake Region’s downtown and only about two miles from the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center. Here are some ideas of things to do such as shopping, dining and enjoying live entertainment.

The Hawley Silk Mill The Hawley Silk Mill is a restored 1800s bluestone structure with specialty shops, clothing boutiques, fine art galleries, a fitness center, local businesses and a community college. This landmark is a popular destination in the Lake Region for visitors and local residents looking for culture, inspiration, entertainment, shopping and a boutique food market that features locally grown and produced food.

Harmony Presents is a local performing arts production team, showcasing emerging and established folk, jazz, bluegrass, funk, blues and classical performing artists from far and wide.

Harmony shows are typically located in the Boiler Room of the historic Hawley Silk Mill.

In addition, Harmony Presents features monthly Libations and Creations events—paint parties that lead participants in a step-by-step process through creating a painting.

Drink it in

By Laura Silverman With the season of cookouts and picnics upon us, we will soon be inundated with recipes for barbeque and cold salads and frozen desserts. But I find that the all-important liquid refreshments—especially those without alcohol—are sadly neglected. Sodas and iced tea are often the only options at summer gatherings, leaving so much virgin territory to be explored.

I love the idea of taking inspiration from what’s at hand— at the farmers’ market, in the garden or further afield—and transforming it into something far better (and more economical) than what you can buy. Infusions of all kinds are the way to go, made by combining seasonal herbs, fruits, flowers and spices with a wide variety of liquids. Garden herbs—steeped in hot water that is then chilled, or cold-brewed overnight—make a wonderful tisane that you can sip over ice all day long. Their verdant and floral flavors, both sharp and subtle, are amazing in drinks of all kinds.

My “Garden Tea” is made with lemon verbena, lemon balm, sage, rose geranium, mint and anise hyssop. Sometimes I add citrusy spruce tips, harvested in late spring when they are tender and bright green. You can also steep citrus rinds, aromatic fruits and spices like cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla along with the herbs. Be sure to taste as you steep, to get the depth of flavor that is right for you, then strain out the solids. A little sugar or honey adds sweetness if you need it.

I’m also a big fan of infused simple syrups, which are so versatile. Gently heat equal parts honey or sugar and water, then add herbs or spices and even chiles before you cool, strain and refrigerate. The syrups can be stirred into sparkling water to create your own sodas—lovage, a celery-flavored herb makes an unusual and delicious one. Citrus loses a lot of its bright intensity when heated, so to make a lemon, lime or grapefruit syrup, juice the fruit, then combine it with an equal amount of sugar in a jar and shake it until the sugar dissolves. Lemon syrup is a key ingredient in my Ruby Sipper, an irresistible strawberry slushy enlivened with fresh basil. Add vinegar to these syrups, and you’ve got a refreshing old-fashioned tonic known as a “shrub.” These sweet-tart drinking vinegars are a fantastic way to capture and showcase summer’s best flavors. Made with fresh raspberries or blackberries, they are sensational mixed into everything from water to gin.

To enjoy one of the season’s most ephemeral flavors, look for elderflowers along riverbanks and marshes in early-to-midsummer when the broad creamy umbrels are at their frothy peak. Combine them in a large jar with sugar, water, fresh lemon juice and zest and let this sit out for a couple of days to catch wild yeast from the air. After a light effervescence has developed, strain and refrigerate the delicate, citrusy cordial.

A cold splash of this mixed with seltzer, sparkling wine or spirits is a revelation.

Herbs aren’t just for cooking. From parsley to sage, rosemary, basil or thyme, they add a wonderful piquancy to summer beverages.

Drink

Continued from page 26

Elderflower cordial Makes about 2 liters

8 ounces elderflowers 1 pound granulated sugar 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon citric acid zest from 3 lemons 6 cups water Shake each flower upside down to remove any critters, then strip the white flowers away from the green stems. Pack them into a large glass jar (1 1/2or 2-liter capacity) and cover with the sugar, the lemon juice and the citric acid.

Bring the water and lemon zest to a boil, then remove from heat. Cool, then pour water and zest into the jar with the elderflowers and stir gently until sugar is mostly dissolved. Screw the lid on loosely and set aside in a corner of your kitchen for 4 days.

A slight fermentation will occur and create gas, so be sure the lid is not tightly sealed, or open it to vent gas once a day.

After 4 days, strain the cordial through a fine mesh strainer or doubled piece of cheesecloth and transfer to a clean bottle. Seal and keep refrigerated. To enjoy, mix with bubbly water, prosecco or gin.

Elderflowers are ubiquitous in this area in early to mid summer and make a wonderful cordial.

Raspberry Shrub Makes 6 cups

2 ¼ lbs raspberries* 2 ½ cups cider vinegar Granulated sugar Put the raspberries in a bowl and crush them lightly with a wooden spoon. Add the vinegar. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the fruit and vinegar steep for 4-5 days, stirring occasionally.

Pour the fruit and vinegar into a jelly strainer bag or a piece of cheesecloth suspended over a bowl and let drain overnight. You can squeeze it a little if you like.

Measure the liquid, then pour into a saucepan.

For every cup of fruit vinegar, add 1 cup of sugar.

Place over low heat and bring gently to a boil.

Stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Boil for 8-10 minutes, removing any scum as it rises. Remove from the heat and cool, then pour into clean bottles and store in the refrigerator. To drink, stir into soda or tonic water and serve over ice. (*You can replace with the same quantity of strawberries, blackberries or black currants to create other flavors.)
