Join the Lancaster County Master Watershed Stewards, in partnership with the Lancaster Conservancy, on a June 13 bike tour of the watersheds of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.
The tour will highlight various watershed features, trail history, and geologic history.
The tour is an out-and-back bike ride from the East Donegal Township Riverfront Park to the Fishermans Wharf Trail access at the northern terminus in Falmouth.
The trail is 100% paved, and the total mileage is approximately 15, including stops along the way and a water break. The tour will run about 2.5 to 3 hours. Helmets are required, and any bike, whether road, mountain, or gravel, will work fine.
Plan to bring a bottle of water with you; plenty of parking and restroom facilities will be available.
Participants will meet at the East Donegal Township Riverfront Park and ride to the Fishermans Wharf Trail access.
We will discuss the watershed features we saw along the way and some of the area's history and geologic features. Upon returning to the East Donegal Riverfront Park, we will enjoy some of Lancaster County's finest snack items and summarize what we learned.
