## About

The Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House leads a free guided walk on the North Park Loop Trail — known locally as the Joe K Trail — which runs past the remains of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal on the edge of Havre de Grace. The walk is easy, about 1.5 miles in 90 minutes, and the museum says it is for all ages, so it works for school-age kids and for younger children who are used to walking (or riding in a carrier). Guides mix nature along the river with the history of the canal and the lock house. It goes ahead rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear shoes that can handle a natural-surface trail. Meet in the parking lot at the top of the Lock House Museum driveway.
