HANCOCK (WBNG) As river levels continue to rise, officials warn so does the danger of getting in the water.
Four people have drowned in the Upper Delaware River since Memorial Day, and the Friends of the Upper Delaware River (FUDR) told 12 News none of those people were properly wearing life jackets.
As more and more rain continues to fall in the area, the executive director of FUDR Jeff Skelding told 12 News the rising river levels lead to faster-moving currents.
On top of that, the debris and soil being washed into the river pose their own challenges. The higher water, the faster it flows; it s also off-color, so you can t see rocks, so it s just generally a more dangerous situation, said Jeff Skelding. A lot of people will look at our river and their first impression might be that well it s a pretty lazy river… Definitely more dangerous than it appears, especially in these conditions.

Friends of Upper Delaware River Receive Grant
Have you ever heard of the Japanese Knotweed plant? Me neither, so you are not alone. But the Friends of the Upper Delaware River have and they are on the alert to make sure we know about it too.
The Japanese Knotweed is a damaging and pervasive and invasive plant that is currently spreading throughout the watershed.
Friends of the Upper Delaware River in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, National Park Service, New York League of Conservation Voters, Stroud Research Center, and Shippensburg University received a federal Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund grant in 2019 to educate the public and better understand the impacts of the spread of Japanese Knotweed in the Upper Delaware River watershed.
