Sign giving a brief history of the canal here. You will find a parking area and access to the canal trail on Port Clinton Avenue just north of Mountain Avenue in Hamburg. the trail runs south, passing the municipal park, to its junction with the former railroad which forms the route of the trail which is planned to eventually link Philadelphia with Pottsville. It took a bit of work to make this image readable, the sign itself has faded quite a bit as it faces south and gets a lot of direct sun at all seasons.
