Overview

It is National Trails Day and what better way to celebrate than to open a brand new trail!!! Join the Appalachian Mountain Club, DCNR, the Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape, and additional Highlands Trail partners to celebrate the completion of a 3-mile segment of the Highlands Trail through Nockamixon State Park! This new section of trail connects the Marina Day Use Area to the Haycock Boat Launch, closing a gap in the Highlands Trail network. In its full completion, the Highlands Trail will connect Nockamixon State Park to Quakertown borough.  Coffee and pastries will be available at 9:30 AM, followed by the ribbon cutting ceremony from 10:00-11:00 AM. An optional, guided hike of the section will depart from the Marina Day Use Area at 11:00 AM. Folks interested in the guided hike should register by using the link above. We hope to see you there! Rain Date: Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 9:30 AM. If it rains, please be sure to check your email for updates.
