Event Information
Description
The Lock 60 Pedal and Paddles, hosted by the Schuylkill River Greenways NHA, will take place at Schuylkill Canal Park in Mont Clare. In response to overwhelming demand, two dates are being offered this year.
- Thursday July 26, 4-8 p.m. (Evening bike ride & moonlight paddle)
- Saturday August 25, 9am-2pm
Participants will take a tour of the canal, the locktender's house, and Lock 60, which is the only restored, operating lock remaining of the Schuylkill Navigation System. Following the tour, they will hop onto bikes and pedal about 5-6 miles round-trip on the Schuylkill River Trail. We will have a boxed meal (lunch or dinner depending on the date selected) and finsh up with a kayaking loop that begins on the river and returns via the canal. Lunch, kayaks, bikes and all kayaking gear are provided. Please bring your own helmet and water bottle. Limited to 15 participants. Must be 16 & older to participate. See our website for other Pedal & Paddle information.
In addition to the Lock 60 Pedal & Paddles, we also offer six Pedal & Paddles in Pottstown.
