AT A GLANCE ~ PROGRAM/EVENT & PARK NEWS:

  • PATH REPAIR UPDATE: The project to repair and resurface the path from GRIGGSTOWN TO LANDING LANE ALONG THE MAIN SECTION OF THE CANAL PARK has progressed rapidly and is now complete. We appreciate the public's patience and support as this repair project progressed. The park office has received several glowing reports regarding the new packed surface and have been told it is acceptable to hikers and bikers alike. As always, we ask that the public contact our office to report any fallen trees or other obstructions encountered along the length of the path. ENJOY THE PARK AND BE SAFE!
