A great week night exercise.

The Walnutport Canal loop is a really nice 2 mile paddle that can be done in Slatington area for a scenic paddle and/or nice fitness session.
This paddle can be done in about 30-60minutes (paddling time) at relatively athletic pace.

I personally do my best to keep this to weeknights as the first 100yards of canal are a popular fishing spot.

The Details

Step 1

Park in the Walnutport Boat Ramp

120 Lehigh St, Walnutport, PA 18088

Step 2

Put in and paddle up the canal until you see a man-made lock, this is where the water flows in. You will get off on the hiking trail, walk upstream direction for about 30 yards and on the left you will see a clearing toward the river. That is your put on.

Step 3

Paddle down and your parking will be right after the bridge.
