Boating Looking for a place to get on the water? Mary's Guesthouse can be a home base for exploring several local bodies of water and waterways. Within a short drive, you can get your craft onto a few lakes or, of course, the Lehigh river. If you can't bring your own, there are places that can provide equipment for you, and if you do decide to bring a trailer, please let us know so we can arrange parking.
