The Delaware & Raritan Canal Watch will hold another in its series of free interpretive walking tours of the D&R Canal on Saturday, May 21. The walk will be between Whitehead Road in Lawrence and Cadwalader Park, Trenton, with the option of a shorter distance.
The 4.5-mile walk features industrial portion of the canal south of Whitehead Road and a new path parallel to the section of the canal that is diverted into a culvert below the Trenton Freeway. Once linked to the canal again in Trenton, the route includes many historic sites and canal-related structures. The shorter walk will be 2.5 miles to the Trenton Battle Monument.
Canal Watch member Pamela V’Combe will conduct the walk.
Meet 10 a.m. at the Ellarslie Mansion, the Trenton City Museum in Cadwalader Park. The park entrance is near 299 Parkside Ave. Carpools will be arranged to allow a one-way walk.
For info and weather updates, contact Ms. V’Combe at 609-635-2783 or pvcombe@gmail.com.
