Asa Packer and his brother-in-law, a Blakeslee captained a coal barge down this river. Replaced by a lock system that rose 600 feet, coal became the towns bread and butter with Mr. Packer and sons mansion on the Jim Thorpe hilltop. An early 1800s severe flood and storm washed the locks away. Replaced by trains this knot is part of the old railroad that ran through the mountain.
