Hike the entire park between April 22 and September 18 and receive your recognition at the opening of the new visitor center in Cumberland on October 14. Williamsport Nationally known nature photographer Connie Toops will present a public program on wildflowers and their photography. Ms. Toops has photographed wildflowers in many areas around the world. Her outstanding photos will be shown during this evening program. Ferry Hill Nature Photographer Connie Toops will offer a reservation only wildflower photography workshop for beginning or intermediate photographers who would like to sharpen their skills.
Space is very limited to insure hands-on and personal attention.
In celebration of Migratory Bird Day, the park will sponsor a volunteer-led bird walk from the Williamsport Visitor Center at 8 a.m. This is an excellent time to see birds as they are moving back into our area or passing through on the way further north. The third annual CanalFest held in Cumberland will highlight the canal and all the rich history associated with it. The recently relocated Canal Boat Replica will be rededicated and open for tours. Enjoy music throughout the weekend as well as traditional crafts and good food from area restaurants.
