We will meet at the parking area adjacent to the Canal in the northern section of Washington Crossing Historic Park, 1635 River Rd, New Hope, PA 18938. 

State Park Educator Katie Martens and Jeff Connell will lead a moderately-paced (the colder it is, the faster we go), four-mile round trip hike. On the way north from Bowman’s Hill to Lock 11 in New Hope, we’ll listen for owls and keep our eyes open for other nocturnal critters.

At Wells Falls, we’ll take in the grandeur of the Delaware River and watch the full moon emerge. As we continue northward, we’ll see Locks 8, 9, 10 and the canal outlet to the River. Waiting at Lock 11 and the Locktender’s House will be hot cider, snacks, and a place to warm up before heading back to our starting point.
