September 26, 2024, Delaware & Raritan Canal Towpath – Griggstown

This historic district has so many stories to tell, starting with the Lenni Lenape Indians that originally occupied this area. Many of their artifacts have been found in this area, along with signs of early European settlers and 18th-century agriculture.

Small bridge to help you pass over Six Mile Run. Part of the bridge is not in good shape, but the stream is small, so you should have no problem getting across.

Six Mile Run Reservoir Site is a large green space on the outskirts of New Brunswick. Despite the name, there is no reservoir in the preserve. There are, however, many great trails that run through woodland and past streams.
