BEV leads a hike on the Port Clinton Towpath Trail and through the village of Port Clinton. Originally established in 1824 as a path that was used to tow canal boats along the Schuylkill Navigation Canal, this trail includes the remains of four locks. The trail is listed as moderate difficulty. There are stream crossings and a small section with rocks; sturdy hiking shoes and poles are recommended. Also bug spray. We will then go to the Port Clinton AT pavilion, passing The Port Clinton Historical and Transportation Museum (perhaps it will be open). Possibility of visiting the Peanut Shop, also. If there has been major rain, we will need to do the Bartram Trail instead. Extreme rain or snow or windy with temperature below 25 will cancel hike. Optional lunch at either the Port Clinton Hotel or 3Cs.
MEET: 9:45 AM at the South East corner of Hamburg Walmart parking lot (Away from Walmart and towards Rt 61). There will be a short shuttle to the starting point due to limited parking at the trailhead. The restrooms are only open seasonally.
