Lock 2 MaintenanceHelp AHC maintain Lock 2 on the Lehigh Canal.
The Allentown Hiking Club maintains the 185 year old high lift Lock 2 on the Lehigh Canal in Lehigh Gorge State Park. Maintenance tasks include clearing the 1/4 mile access trail from the D&L Trail to the lock, clearing vegetation from the capstones and inside the lock, and removing invasive plants. If we have time and manpower, we will also hike the 1/2 mile to the Coalport Weigh Lock and clear that trail and lock. Please bring tools such as garden rakes, garden trowels, loppers or clippers, gloves, lunch and water. We will finish by 2 pm. Rain on the morning of the event will cancel the trip.
