Saturday February 19, 2011 - West Side, East Side, All Around Reading Towne

approx.6 miles


Come out to hike with the leaders to see one of the leader's house from every angle! There will be two separate in-and-out hikes. The first hike will be on the unfinished Neversink Trail located on the East side of the Schuylkill River. Then we will trek to Heritage Park to see Jackson’s Landing, an old bridge abutment, and foundations from the glory days of the canal. We will proceed to the end as far as we can go then turn around and return to RACC. Next we will travel across the Schuylkill to the West Shore and hike past the Bertolet Fishing Pier, walk a section of the West Reading Bike Trail, and travel under a bypass tunnel.

Meeting place: 10:00 am, Goggleworks (Walnut & 2nd Streets, Reading) rear parking lot.
