Event comments
This year we have included in the walk the newly opened Princeton Art Museum. Walkers may take time to visit in the museum or go on their way to continue the trail. This walk is on the D&R (Delaware & Raritan) Canal Towpath. The D&R was constructed by Irish immigrants 1830-1834. It served to connect the Delaware and Raritan Rivers. It was an efficient and reliable transport for freight esp coal. 1973 National Record of Historic Places. Trail follows along part of the main canal towpath running 29 miles between Trenton and New Brunswick, NJ. Walk out and back along quiet woods on the traffic free trail. The towpath is part of the East Coast Greenway, a walking and biking route stretching 3000 miles from Maine to Florida, our nation's most popular corridor.Lunch or early dinner together is always an option. There are several places to dine in the mall right next to the Hyatt. Happy Trails.

Event information
The registration will be in the parking lot of the Hyatt Hotel, 3565 Route 1 South. (Do not confuse with another Hyatt in Princeton). We do this so rest rooms will be available at the hotel and so we have more walking time on the best parts of the trail. After registration we will drive to the start point at Turning Basin Park, 523 Alexander RD Princeton. Driving directins will be available. Portapotty may or may not be available there. Plan on leaving the hotel by noon.
