COVID PROTOCOL CALLS FOR FACE COVERINGS WHEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A 6-FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCE. Join us for a leisurely walk on a level and paved portion of the D&L Trail near Easton. We’ll meet at Riverview Park, Lehigh Drive, Easton, PA. This is just off 25th Street.

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. Last week, there are portable potties at the start but none anywhere else on the walk. Dress for the weather! Temperatures will probably be in the 30s. Please RSVP so we have some idea how many hikers we have.
