Hike Lumberville to Stockton PA
Details
This 8 mile walk along the Pennsylvania Canal, Delaware Division, starts out with a crossing on the Lumberville-Raven Rock Bridge! The pedestrian bridge replaced an auto bridge that was swept away in one of the Delaware’s numerus floods. We will continue on the PA side southward, passing interesting homes built along the canal. The canal has been dry for quite some time due to lack of pumps that were destroyed in a flood. We will cross the Centre Bridge - Stockton Bridge to NJ side. Once in Stockton we will have lunch and enjoy the local shops. We will continue walking on the NJ side northward back to Bulls Island Recreation Area to our cars.
