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.
