This is an easy 4.5 mile walk on a paved part of D&L Trail from Easton’s Riverview Park to the Route 33 Launch and back.

COVID PROTOCOL CALLS FOR FACE COVERINGS WHEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A 6-FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCE. This is a good all-weather scenic and leisurely walk on a level, wide and paved portion of the D&L Trail near Easton. After introductions, I’ll provide a brief talk on the history of the D&L canal through this area. In particular, at this point canal boats crossed the Lehigh River to from the north to the south bank. Also there is Island Park, now wilderness but over a century ago was a thriving amusement park served by trolley from Easton. Also there will be a nearly full moon rising over the river which should add to the ambiance... There should be a porta potty at the start. So come prepared! Dress for the weather! Temperatures will probably be warm. Please RSVP if you are coming so we have a head count...
