4-5 miles
This hike begins in the village of Port Clinton and follows the old towpath along the Schuylkill River. It is mostly woodland trail walking with some hills and road walking. There is also a cemetery [be careful to walk between graves, not over them] with some very old tombstones that we can explore on our descent back to the village. We hope to see remnants of an old canal lock, if possible. We will be adjacent to gamelands, so wearing orange may be a good idea. Wear good boots and carry water as well.
1st Meeting place: 9:30 am at Redners Market on Rte 61 N in Leesport.
2nd Meeting place: 10:00 am at parking area just beyond the railroad property on the left side of Broad Street in Port Clinton, in view of playground. Large sign on right indicates where to park.
