Event Description

Starting from the Delaware River, trace the towpath footsteps of the Delaware & Raritan Canal, a 175 year old waterway across Central New Jersey - from Trenton to New Brunswick. The TR2NB40 - Great Canal Walk, a 40-mile, one -day long distance walk, is a superb physical and mental challenge and the first event in a series of three walking events aiming to walk across New Jersey following the East Coast Greenway.
The TR2NB40 - Great Canal Walk is the first walking event planned by the FreeWalkers for 2012. The FreeWalkers are partnering again with the East Coast Greenway on a program for 2012 called the Cross-Jersey Walking Challenge which sets a goal of walking the 100 miles of the ECG, across the entire State, at any time during the year.

This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP. Rain or shine but heavy or steady rain cancels.

Still like the idea. Logistical challenge.

Comment by Robert Fouchaux on January 4, 2012 at 12:30pm: It will require some logistical planning. Some years ago, Gwen and I launched at Rte 27 in Kingston (there's a lock there as I recall) and rowed north from there with a cooler and such. (No Booze in the park). One has to have life jackets aboard.

We got out from time to time, chatted with hikers, and eventually rowed back to the launch point.

For us it would require getting the "yacht" from where it sits now in Sparta on to our car roof and such. It's bit of a lark, tho', isn't it?? We might start at the SW end of Carnegie Lake and row to Kingston, perhaps.

Comment by Barry Wolff on January 4, 2012 at 11:06am: Happy to get on board again!

Comment by Michael L. Dorn on January 3, 2012 at 11:39am: Just the ticket - bringing my camera!

Comment by Paul Kiczek on January 2, 2012 at 7:53pm: Robert, love the dingy. Please let me know if you do. I'd like to coordinate that with the walk and tell the Greenway about it. That's a great idea!

Comment by Robert Fouchaux on January 2, 2012 at 5:10pm: I'm contemplating joining along the way, perhaps with my dingy instead iof walking !!.. I have cruised the canal in my 8 foot yacht some yearts ago.

Comment by Paul Kiczek on January 2, 2012 at 3:50pm: Hi, Robert!

Happy New Year. The event is from 7am (Trenton) to 8pm (New Brunswick). We'll follow a predictable schedule and you can start anywhere along our route or continue as far as you want with us. I'll probably fine tune the schedule in the weeks ahead and provide more info.
