Attend the Brodhead Watershed Association and the Pocono Heritage Land Trust’s monthly “Where in the Watershed” Walks to little known places throughout the Brodhead Creek Watershed in Monroe County.

This month’s walk, the ninth in the series, is an adventure into the Brodhead Canyon along the Brodhead Creek on Stroudsburg's Glen Park and Monroe County Open Space lands, on November 16 from 1 – 5 p.m.

Join two of the area’s finest naturalists and friends, Don Miller and Bill Sweeney, for an exploration of the beautiful, wild Brodhead Canyon. This little known stretch of the Brodhead Creek is a great place to go hiking, biking, birding or fly-fishing, with "wild scenery rivaling the large boulder rivers of the West".

Nature's late autumn preparations for winter will be highlighted as we explore the mature rhododendron and mixed deciduous forest areas along the trail on the former NY and Susquehanna rail line. Appropriate outdoor attire and hiking boots are recommended for this moderate difficulty hike on a level, forested old railroad bed along the “canyon” area of Brodhead Creek.

The walk will start in the parking area for Glen Park, located at the end of Collins Street, just off Broad Street/Park Street in south Stroudsburg. Fee is $3.00 per BWA/PHLT member, $5.00 per non-member, children are free, to be collected at the start of the hike.

To register for this hike please call the Pocono Heritage Land Trust office at 570-424-1514 from Monday to Friday 8:30 to 4:30.
