There is also a boat launch for the Lehigh River down in the back. The river to the east gets shallow so power boats beware! My only complaint about ACP is the shady activity that I see around the river boat launch and the canal boat launch.

Thank you to the volunteers who run this amazing place. If any Pennsylvania legislators or friends…read moreread this, please get the formaldehyde to the preserved animals exhibit. They aren't making meth! The exhibits are educational, and show the consequences of not watching out for wildlife driving. As mentioned a volunteer effort, and the primary goal, is to get people who live in cities and elsewhere, to learn about biology, ecology, and seeing something different. So glad to have found this peculiar yet family friendly place. Signs educate you about the trout hatchery pools and streams. Nets are across them, to prevent birds from attacking/eating the trout. There are five species of these fish, and heron are in the area looking at them still. You can if you choose pay 50 cents to $2, for a bag of fish food. My best guess is it's some type of dog food like pellets. You can choose how much to throw in, and watching hundreds if not thousands of fish swarm at one time is fascinating. Outstanding for teaching kids cause and effort, or perhaps classical conditioning too. One tank the trout wait for these pellets left over to roll their way. If you can donate to help this place out, you can with the on site wishing well. Credit cards aren't accepted, but it's just a few dollars. Fully recommend!

My review has nothing to do with Merrill Creek (MCR) itself, we have been hiking / kayaking here…read morefor a number of years...the place is as described by previous Yelp postings. We took our two seat kayak last Saturday (trailered) and we were met at the reservoir parking area by a very officious / rude "security guard" (ORSG) ....at least we assumed it was a security guard, I didn't see any logos or ID on this ORSG. This ORSG was, to say the least, a little "heavy-handed" and clearly ORSG wasn't really a reservoir/boat savvy person. ORSG proceeded to tell us that we'd have to park our vehicle in a parking spot and carry our 75 lb kayak back down to the boat ramp. On all previous visits, even when an attendant has been present, we've pulled to one side of the ramp and qickly off-loaded the kayak to the ramp or the adjacent kayak launch area, without causing any disruption to boat launchers using the ramp. We have also used the ramp with our trailer. Furthermore, we were told by ORSG that wearing life-jackets / PFD's was mandatory. I mentioned that NJ (and most other states) only require that adults carry life jackets on their watercraft...(the NJ regs. are stated on the Merrill Creek General Rules & Regulations...however somewhat baffling is the fact that MCR over-rides the state regs. and does require the wearing of PFD's while on the water). The GR&R were kindly thrust at me by ORSG...lol Now here's the kicker...having "read us the riot act" and we complied, we launched our kayak with ORSG watching...while no less than three other kayakers launched their kayaks from the boat ramp...with their PFD's strapped to their kayaks !!!....talk about "stupid" ! Upon returning to the ramp...a second security company employee (she had just arrived in a mini-SUV) instructed us to move our kayak off the ramp...I informed this young lady that we had a trailer and I was about to retrieve it. This young lady relented and allowed us to quickly load our tandem kayak onto its trailer from the boat ramp...strike one for commonsense ! Meanwhile, ORSG was busy untying the powered dinghy from its dock and taking off into the reservoir....without wearing the required PFD !...lol (I have the video). BTW...there was a total of circa ten or less cars / trucks / trailers in the parking lot...quite surprising given the beautiful weather last Saturday. That said, maybe word is already "out" that Merrill Creek has become a PITA to deal with...what a shame. One small consolation..on a recent visit we got up close and personal (through a Samsung 'phone telephoto lense) with one of the reservoir residents..we saw two pairs that day...quite spectacular !
