May 3, May 18 and June 14 | 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM
We have updated our Annual Canal Walk to make it more enjoyable for today’s towpath travelers. This year, we will divide the walk into sections based on the four seasons. Enjoy the diverse flora and fauna that change with the calendar throughout the year.
On our upcoming series of walks, we will travel from north to south from Easton to Erwinna.
Saturday May 4 – Forks of the Delaware in Easton to Mueller’s Store – One-way trip with carpooling – 7.6 miles – 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
We will start our walk in Easton at the Forks of the Delaware Recreation Area, located at 210 South Delaware Drive (Route 611). We’ll explore the guard lock and fish ladder, then head south over the newly reinforced towpath.
As we reach Wy-Hit-Tuk Park, we’ll pass the Monet Bridge and Woody’s Bridge, an authentic camelback bridge, before continuing through Raubsville to see the recently replaced culvert and bridge.
At the Theodore Roosevelt Recreation Area, we’ll learn about the industrial history of Uhlersville and stop at Mueller’s Kitchen and General Store before carpooling back to Easton.
Sunday, May 18 – Mueller’s Kitchen and General Store to Ringing Rocks – One-way trip with carpooling – 6.5 miles – 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
Our walk begins at Mueller’s and will take us through Riegelsville, where we will explore the town’s history and learn about the Roebling Bridge.
We will then proceed to the Gallow’s Run Aqueduct and Lock 21 at Durham Creek. Continuing south, we will encounter Lock 20, Indian Rock, and the Narrows Restaurant and Inn.
Finally, we will conclude our walk at Falls Creek, reaching the Ringing Rocks trailhead.
Saturday, June 14 – Homestead General Store and Coffee Roastery to Tinicum Park, Erwinna – One-way trip with carpooling – 4.7 miles – 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
We will begin our walk at the Homestead General Store, which is the oldest operating general store on the canal and with a new expanded coffee roasting operation, it’s definitely worth a visit!
We will then head south to the recently constructed Canal Lane Bridge and the bridge abutments for Spahr’s Bridge, where we will learn about the Friends of the Delaware Canal’s efforts to restore this bridge to its former glory.
Continuing south, we will pass the Delaware Canal State Park office, a former Locktender’s house, and Hazzard’s Bridge, a camelback bridge that was restored by the Friends. We will then walk through the charming hamlet of Uhlerstown before concluding our walk at Tinicum Park.
