Towpath Closed in Raubsville Due to Collapse

Towpath Closed in Raubsville Due to Collapse

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

The towpath is CLOSED just north of Woody’s Camelback Bridge ( Mile 54) due to a partial collapse of the towpath today. Trail users should turn around at the closure and NOT attempt to get by it, as the collapse may be prone to expanding and undercutting.  The level of the water in the Canal has been lowered to reduce any further erosion.
