2020 Every Day is Canal Day We regret to inform you that we will not be hosting our traditional Canal Day event on the last Sunday in June 2020. We all know the reason why. Canal Day is our biggest annual fundraiser and the proceeds usually enable us to maintain the area, keep the land and water trails open, host our other events, and partner with other great organizations. We are starting to plan a smaller event for late summer or early fall and we will keep you updated. Now that you know that we are canceling our annual event this year, we’ll let you in on a little secret. Canal Day is every day! Lock 60, the towpath, and land and water trails are more popular than ever and we need to remind everyone that it is a shared space that a variety of people use for a variety of reasons. We ask that you respect trail closures, area property owners, and others when visiting our great area. We know it is not the best time to fundraiser but we have to do it if we want to stick around. We hope to come up with a few creative ways to encourage you to support us in 2020. Which is a better t-shirt? No Canal Day 2020 or 2020 Every Day is Canal Day?

RIVER TRAIL NOTICE: Construction on improving the trail to provide better access to the wastewater pipeline has begun between Lock 60 and the Farm Park. The trail along the river from Lock 60 and upriver to the Farm Park has been fenced off to prevent public access to the construction site.
