AT A GLANCE ~ PROGRAM/EVENT & PARK NEWS:

FLOOD DAMAGE ADVISORY: Due to the recent March 2010 Nor'ester, the MAIN CANAL from Landing Lane in New Brunswick to Lawrence Township and beyond has sustained intermittent - and in some cases extensive - damage especially in those areas directly adjacent to the RARITAN and MILLSTONE RIVERS. Portions of the towpath between New Brunswick and Trenton sustained water/washout damage and these areas are rocky and rough. BE ADVISED THAT TREES ARE DOWN ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE PATH. Efforts are underway to access the damage and address repairs to the damaged towpath. We ask that the public be patient as the flood recovery process progresses. THE FEEDER CANAL FROM FRENCHTOWN TO TRENTON DID NOT SUSTAIN DAMAGE. Please call the office to report any fallen trees along the length of the path.
