“Frenchy” crowned 2022’s River of the Year!

And yet ANOTHER reason for a roadtrip to NWPA (Northwestern Pennsylvania)!!!

Tone and I are blessed.  We get it.  However, this journey wasn’t a joyride.  It took some serious time, patience and hard work to get here.  Looking back… actually Looking OUT our windows and seeing this gem called “French Creek” as our literal backyard makes it all worthwhile.  The proverbial “icing on the cake” is being crowned “River of the Year!”  So, if you Roadbum’s haven’t heard of “Frenchy” (that’s what my Dad calls “her”) then I suggest planning a Spring/Summer roadtrip with kayaking and/or fishing on your itinerary!  Continue reading and be sure to click on the links for some interesting facts you may not have known!

French Creek in northwestern Pennsylvania has been selected as the 2022 Pennsylvania River of the Year!

French Creek is one of the most biologically diverse waterways of its size in the U.S., meandering 117 miles from its headwaters in southern New York through four PA counties to the Allegheny River.

The creek is home to 27 species of freshwater mussels, more than 80 species of fish, and numerous waterfowl, and songbird species, including bald eagles and four Audubon-designated Important Bird Areas.

French Creek Valley Conservancy will receive a $10,000 grant to help fund a slate of year-long 2022 River of the Year activities in celebration.
