Thursday April 14, 2011 - Port Clinton Towpath

AL will lead a hike of ~5 miles in Port Clinton on the old Schuylkill Canal Towpath. As we walk along the Schuylkill River on this scenic trail we will venture as far as possible to private ground to possibly see remnants of the still existing Rischels Lock. Then retrace our steps to a point in the game lands, climbing uphill to explore trails and an old cemetery while winding back on a road to our starting point. Optional lunch afterwards.

1st MEET: 9:30 A.M. @ Redner’s Market off Rte. 61 N. in Leesport and carpool to Port Clinton. Non-diners should carpool in same vehicle.

2nd MEET: 10:00 A.M. @ Port Clinton playground in Port Clinton.
DIRECTIONS: Take 61 N to Port Clinton and turn left on Broad St. to Pine St. then left again to the playground. Only street parking is available there.

TELEPHONE: Al 610-929-9694 with questions. (Don’t make them too hard).
