Take a ride down the Lehigh River with Bobby Michener of Peters Marine Service and Gary Blockus of Allentown's The Morning Call newspaper.

There are many local boating possibilities here in the Lehigh Valley - you just have to know where to look. Here Bobby and Gary took some time to explore a nice stretch of the Lehigh River right here in Allentown, PA.
