Join this special Pedal & Paddle round-trip adventure for an evening of bikes, boats and heritage at Lock 60 in Mont Clare.
Must be 16 or older to participate. This event is limited to 15 participants.
Participants will learn about the canal, the locktender’s house, and Lock 60, which is the only restored, operating lock remaining of the Schuylkill Navigation System. The group will then have about a 4-mile bike ride along the Schuylkill River Trail. The ride will be lead by Take It Outdoors and participants will use bicycles from the free Pottstown-based bike share program.
Then Take It Outdoors will give a brief introduction to kayaking before participants finish the night with a kayaking loop that begins on the river and returns via the canal led by Take It Outdoors.
Food will be provided. All gear, such as bicycles and boats, are included. If you have a special request for a boat, please contact Take It Outdoors Adventures directly at t the email noah@takeitoutdoorsadventures.com or call 610-656-3969. Certified guides will lead the group bike ride and paddle.
