Walnutport Canal HikeHike the Lehigh Canal north and south of Walnutport.
The Walnutport Canal Association maintains sections of the Lehigh Canal north and south of town. We will first hike north to Lehigh Gap to see the gap from river level and then retrace our steps to Walnutpot. We will continue south past the Locktender's House (built about 1828, one of two original houses remaining) and Lock 23, and enjoy the views before returning to our cars. Bring water and a snack. Heavy rain cancels.
