Start the New Year off right by participating in the 2021 Cabin Fever Hike Series!
Bundle up the family for a winter hike along the Miami Erie Canal, any day you choose during the month of January.
We invite you to begin at the Lockkeeper's House at 22 S. Water Street, New Bremen to enjoy the views of restored Lock #1 and read interpretive signage about the construction of the canal, as well as the lock's history. You can choose to hike north or south along the canal towpath.
There will not be event signage on the trail, so if you'd like to keep track of your hiking distance, there are a number of free apps like "Map My Walk" and "Pacer" you can use.
This hike is sponsored by Miami Erie Canal Corridor Association and Heritage Trails Park District.
