See all- Sunset StrollDelaware Canal State Park, Upper Black Eddy, PA
***Meeting location: Park Office, 11 Lodi Hill Rd, Upper Black Eddy, PA 18972***
Join a state park naturalist for a stroll along the towpath as the light of day starts to fade. We will have a chance to listen and look for both diurnal AND crepuscular critters while we enjoy the changing colors of the sky around sunset. This walk will be out-and-back at a moderate pace on a flat, level path; total distance covered will be 3-4 miles.
Please wear sturdy footwear & bring water. We will complete the walk before it's fully dark, so no need for a flashlight/headlamp.
