Avoid Water Recreation Under and Around Skinners Falls-Milanville Bridge
River users are strongly encouraged to avoid paddling, boating, floating, tubing, swimming, wading, and recreating under and around the Skinners Falls-Milanville Bridge due to work PennDOT is doing on the bridge.
PennDOT is removing loose bridge components and starting November 18, 2024 will install warning signage, buoys, and protective netting around the bridge to restrict water recreational activity under the bridge for the safety of the general public.
River users are advised to avoid getting off the water/taking out at the Skinners Falls River Access. Instead, it is recommended to get off the river at the Damascus River Access. River users can still hand-launch boats from the Skinners Falls River Access. River users using a trailer to launch can launch from either the Narrowsburg River Access or Darbytown River Access.
You can read the original PennDOT news release on the PennDOT website.
