Hike Out the Old Year

Hike Out the Old Year

Lumberville Aqueduct

Hike out the old year along the Delaware Canal towpath on Saturday December 27 and say goodbye to 2025 in style!

Join the Friends of the Delaware Canal for a 4.2-mile hiking adventure from Virginia Forrest Recreation area to the new Lumberville Aqueduct.

We will begin our walk at 10 AM. in the parking lot of Virginia Forrest located at 3211 River Road, New Hope PA 18938.

Virginia Forrest Recreation Area

Jeff Connell, a board member of the Friends, will lead the way on a scenic round-trip uncovering the historic homes, inns  and the artists inspired by the landscape of the area. We will then venture on to the Lumberville Aqueduct, a recently completed construction project,  to learn about the new design before retuning back to our starting point.

Wearing waterproof boots and dressing in layers is advisable. Cookies and a hot beverage will be waiting at the end of the adventure. 

The hike along the towpath is free and will be held, weather permitting. It will be canceled in the event of rain or dangerous driving conditions. Check the homepage of www.fodc.org for a Go/No Go message that will be posted by 9 AM on December 28.

The walk is limited to 30 people. Please register below. If you need more information call the Friends at 215-862-2021 or e-mail friends@fodc.org.
