North Branch Canal Trail signage coming soon!

Thanks to the support of the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), official trail signage will be installed along the North Branch Canal Trail corridor this month.  We'll be installing mileage markers at each 0.1 mile mark, as well as various caution and information signage where needed.  Watch for new trailhead kiosk signage as well.

 

 



$146,000 grant to support the North Branch Canal Trail

The Susquehanna Greenway Partnership and Montour Area Recreation Commission were recently awarded $146,000 in grant funding from the Williams Transco Pipeline Atlantic Sunrise Project / Conservation Fund Environmental Stewardship Program to support the construction of the North Branch Canal Trail between Danville and Catawissa, as well as planning for the Catawissa to Bloomsburg portion of the trail.  Watch for culverts, bridges and other trail features in coming months made possible by this grant.

 

 



GRAND OPENING CEREMONY
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1
12:00PM - 2:00PM


The day we've been waiting for is nearly here!  MARC is planning a partial opening of the first 0.4 mile-long portion of the North Branch Canal Trail in Mahoning Township, Montour County on Thursday, October 1, 2015 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm.  Details for this and related events are now being planned, so watch for future updates as they become available.
