Appalachian Mountain Club Delaware Valley Chapter

Join us for the third season of Weeknight Walks in Yardley - now on Tuesday nights!

As in the past, we will take a brisk walk through the picturesque Yardley Borough as well as on the historic Delaware Canal path. Our 4 – 5-mile walk will highlight some of the places that make Yardley special, including a Victorian-era Library at Lake Afton and a small stretch of Main Street.

Most of the route will be on relatively flat streets or on the very walkable canal path. However, there will be one steep incline towards the end of the walk, just before a short downhill that returns us to our starting point at Buttonwood Park.

For those who are hungry after the walk, there are plenty of places to grab a bite in Yardley.

Location
We will meet at the large open shelter in the middle of Buttonwood Park.
Public parking is available adjacent to Buttonwood Park; there is also street parking available around the corner on Penn Valley Drive. Be careful to only park in locations marked as public parking.

Notes
Advance Registration is required here OR on the AMC website. All participants will need to agree to and sign the AMC legal waiver sheet prior to joining the walk.

Looking to start a new fitness routine? Prefer the outdoors to the gym? If so, we have the perfect evening walk for you.
We’ll meet twice per month at the tennis courts in Memorial Park, Lower Makefield Township (Yardley), PA. You can choose to join us for a one-mile loop around this unique park or continue for a second mile through an attractive local neighborhood. If you are feeling extra ambitious, you can stick with us for a third lap around Memorial Park – this time in reverse.
We will return to the tennis courts after each lap, so it’s your choice – you can walk a total of 1, 2 or 3+ miles – whatever is best for you!
The walk will be primarily on flat, paved trails or on sidewalks. There may be a few times where we walk through very short stretches of grass. The plan is to walk at an easy, social pace, with the possibility of increasing the pace over the course of the summer.
We look forward to seeing you and working together towards our health and fitness goals!

Join us for a fast-paced hike on the trails at French Creek. There are rocks, roots, and small hills but the terrain in not overly challenging. We'll cover 5-6 miles at an average pace of 3mph. We'll take breaks to keep the group together but keep moving otherwise. Bring water and a snack. Inclement weather will cancel. No dogs. Rainbow not guaranteed.
