Registration is Closed – Springtime on the Towpath
REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED.
If you are registered, this walk will take place as scheduled.
It’s time to stroll along the towpath and learn about the ephemeral blossoms that greet us every spring.
Take in the beauty of these flowers with our guide, Barbara Heisler, an avid gardener & Canal lover. This walk will take us from Woodside Road to Mt. Airy Road.
As daffodils dance on the towpath bank and trees blossom we will make our way to Lock 7 with its stone walls restored by the Friends. A little board and batten shanty and the Locktender’s House complete the spring scene. Along the way, we will explore a wildlife haven.
We will also stop at the 1799 House, a former stone residence that was adaptively re-used to serve as a trailhead comfort station. Located at the entrance to the shared use pedestrian/bike path, this historic stone house as a new life serving towpath travelers.
The walk is limited to 25 people. Reservations are $10 for members, $20 for non-members. Reserve your spot below. Or call the Friends at 215-862-2021 or email us at friends@fodc.org.
