NJ/PA -Canal Tow Path Sampler Hike

Turned out to be a beautiful spring day. Weather warmed up, the rained passed us by, and to boot we had lots of guys join in (some new actually). Ended up we spent the whole afternoon on a 7 mile hike that started in this park and over the new bridge to over the canal to the tow path (see pic of us starting out). From there we went up the PA side of their canel, crossed over from New Hope, PA into Lambertvill, NJ up up their canel tow path. To our surprise, it brought us to one of the larger NJ area flea markets which we took in for a bit and a pit stop, then headed back into town for lunch (Italian Style).  Met lots of new guys, caught up with old friends. Thanks to all for a very pleasant and full day.

Come join in on a fun day in two states (PA & NJ) as we sample the tow paths along the Delaware River. Meeting at the Solebury Township Canal Park which is park of the Delaware Canal State Park on the Pennsylvania Side of the Delaware River. Will meet in the parking lot which is just off  Rte. 32 near Rte. 202. From there we will hike south along the PA - Delaware Canal tow path for about a mile into New Hope, PA. From there we will cross over the river via the adjoining towns' bridge into Lambertville, NJ and hike south along the NJ - Delaware & Raritan Canal  tow path for another mile or so. We will then circle back into Lambertville/New Hope area where we will stop for lunch as a group at one of the local cafes/restaurants. Those that will not be joining in on lunch may follow the easily followed tow path back up north along the canal to the parking lot.

Since this event is in March, please dress in layers as it may still be quite chilly out, although we could be happy with some early spring weather by then (I say with crossed fingers).

If joining in on lunch, please be sure to pay for whatever food/drink items you order (note prices on menu for when paying), include tip and tax on that as well.
