Beautiful cliff, the animals, flowers everything just beautiful
Nice spring day for a nature walk/hike. Thanks Cliff for sharing. 👍🐢
The Delaware canal is a sad story. In the 70's it was intact and full of water. Several times I spent two days paddling up the canal and one day paddling down the river. They were great trips. There were loads of mom and pop canoe rentals along the canal and the gatekeepers houses were still inhabited. The point pleasant pumping station was the death knell for the canal. Former Governor Ridge did sign a 40 million bill to restore the canal, but back to back massive floods caused the state to cancel that project. I'm very lucky to have experienced the canal in all it's glory before it's demise.
Just hop across the Delaware River to the NJ side, we got a separate canal that's actually navigable ;)
@@joshscores3360 The only problem with that is that it's in NJ. I despise NJ and avoid going there.
@@my2cents945 NJ isn't even that bad... bet most people who dunk on NJ have only been to the not-so-good areas right across the river from New York City or Philadelphia, or have never actually been to NJ and are just repeating stuff they've heard from the grapevine. We've got good schools, good job opportunities, lots of ethnic diversity, and a thriving pharmaceutical industry. Some of the rural parts are actually really picturesque, especially west of I-287 and east of I-295; we're known as the "Garden State" for a reason.
Gelabque I have to agree. Grew up in Monmouth Co. NJ & it was a great place to spend my childhood. Close to beaches in summer & not too far to ski in winter & we still could go to NYC. Live in Bucks Co. now. There are a couple groups trying hard to bring the Canal back. Those floods were no joke.
Awesome video thanks Cliff. What a fantastic find those ruins were, the stonework was amazing. Quite a few critters which was fantastic. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Bristol, to Easton Pennsylvania. The canal is a mess, if any of it has water in it I would be surprised. Go to Point Pleasant and look at the aqueduct they built, it is absolutely dry.
There was a canal on the New Jersey side but it didn’t take long before the railroad put a rail line right alongside of it. As I mentioned Point Pleasant Pennsylvania was a stopping/resting point and a one day walk for the mules or horses pulling the barges towards Easton.
During the canal days there weren’t very many residents in Point Pleasant, there were more hotels and bars than homes.
Always enjoy going on a nature hike with you
Amazing footage Cliff. Critters, ruins, history and spring flowers. Just can't miss.
Love your videos of PA. Born and raised in Western PA. On your journey of PA's state parks, you must visit Cook Forest State Park, in Clarion County, bordering the Allegheny National Forest. Ancient eastern hemlock forests, meandering Clarion River. Many places there to stay, including rustic state park cabins and many upgrades to lodging which include privately owned cabins, etc. We lived in Ridley Park, Delaware County, in our younger years. Lovely there, but much prefer the solitude of Clarion, Forest, Elk counties. Thank you for the time you put into your videos!!
That land had a lot of character,
That turtle is smiling at you Cliff. : )
Another top trek Cliff, thanks for taking me along
That was a really nice park. Thanks for filming it. 👍
Hey Cliff like the shirt. Fungi LOL
I enjoy the spring hikes, new growth, flowers, critters and crawlers and fowl!
Great hike and best of all found ruins along the way. Just wondering nearly time for you to get your kayak out and go for a paddle again, so peaceful!
That was quite a nice sized snapping turtle! What a cool place to explore!
Awesome little trip man! Thanks for sharing with everyone. My Mom (late 40's) and my brothers and myself (early to late 20's) all enjoy watching your videos! Especially when we get to sit down and enjoy in the same room with one-another lol.
Hey Cliff! So I was in the parking lot of a Giant eagle grocery store today, and I saw a jeep in the parking lot with a tire cover saying "all to wander are not lost", it was in the same font you often use, crazy!!
Hi Cliff, a really nice historic hike, it's nice to see the sun shining too. Those Violets are so pretty and I love the colour.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Yikes-stay away from that poison ivy! Love the turtles-thank you!
Canal boats were pulled by heavy weight mules. Delaware Canal State Park is part of the Lehigh Canal that is from Jim Thorpe to Bristol 165 miles of living history.
I live in New Hope & when we first moved here over 25 years ago the canal barges were still running. They kept the mules at Phillips Mill.
You take us to the most interesting places. Thanks!
We have the same problem here in Québec in the Greater Montréal. My sister had a hard time finding a bike for here son. All the stores were empty. But she have find one .
Cliff, thanks for another great vid with great nature and history. I never miss one of your vids and have gone through most of your back catalog after just discovering you a few months ago.
Enjoyed your video I used to live in bucks country thank you so much 😊
Always love our fun adventures! Dont know if I have tried that pizza. Have to look for it. Thanks Cliff🥰
I regularly drive down River Rd in Bucks County and have stopped at the Giving Pond but did not realize there were trails there. I usually pull into Tinicum Park and walk or ride the towpath. Tons of turtles there. Just something about that area that I find a peace and beauty in that I don't find elsewhere. I drove down River Rd recently on a rainy Friday afternoon and the cliffs between Upper Black Eddy and New Hope were covered in Dutchman's Breeches, which I would not have identified if not seeing you point them out in other videos.
Just got deja vu....did I already post this comment elsewhere?? LOL
It did look like a nice place to live, fun for kids.
The bike shortage is all over the US. both big box stores and specialty bike stores. I went to the Super Walmart ( Florida ) the other day and they had one adult bike. Nice hike, good video. 👍🏻
Thank you Cliff.
Hi..
Thats a nice canal and nice ruins too.
That snappping turtle looks old
And the canal ..we have here similar ones.
I had been looking for a bike also since being stuck at home, but did just buy one, really great quality and technology, check out Priority Bikes, I bought a Brilliant brand, "L-Train", uses belt drive, not train drive.
The snapper looks injured...eye and nose:(
Cliff let us know if you find out what the ruins were that you found. Thx
love red beds. I have one right by my front door
That building got melted to shit. You can tell with the way it looks. And how the mortar snot oozed out from between and plastered out onto the front of the bricks appearing like cement
Heck I pick up a snapper one time took it across a busy street it tried to bite me. It smelled like 💩 and I put it down so it could get to the big pond
hey cliff gt to hear of mules n donkey's only donkey's in ireland I Miss them all cars trucks etc. here but love stray cats n all birds who visit my garden n love feeding them love that louder picerel frog brian
Kind of depressing canal; not as well preserved as the other canal on the NJ side. Must have seen better days. Reminds me of how the Morris Canal is now.
I think people should have kept All the brush and trees away from the walls. It could be more parts of the building left standing. Can you think how long it took to stack all of the rocks
I was hiking there today, I missed the ruins of the wall but I did see the ruins of the foundation of a house. How did you find the trail back to the parking lot from the road. Would you please be more clear how you found your way back into the parking lot.
Also Snapping Turtles are fouling smelling creatures if you touch their shells, you'll be washing your hands for a while, try Lava soap
What was that creature at 10:01 to 10:02 around that took off by that second wall or whatever in middle behind first wall and two trees? Deer?
Poison ivy vine on the brick wall?
👍
I feel bad for all those horses, mules and donkeys, enslaved by humans..
