  • This is a lovely, free, National Park within a few hours' drive of us, so it's an easy weekend trip from the Detroit area. We've been here a few times (most recently on this January day), although we've yet to come here when the park is at its busiest in the summer months, when I understand the traffic along the Towpath Trail can get pretty clogged with walkers, runners, and bicyclists jockeying for position. Today (Jan 2) the trail attracted more than a few runners, dog walkers, and even a few lookie-loos with cameras like us! I like the history of the park and the canals that played such an important part of this country's westward movement in the early 1800s. There are several old locks to view and you can, in at least once case, go down into one of the old locks to see the massive block construction and marvel at the effort it must have taken to build the transit way at that time. The Canal Visitors Center has some nice historical exhibits, a small gift shop, and at least one ranger on duty to answer questions. Brandywine Falls is also a must-see in the park. This beautiful waterfall is easily accessible via several wooden walkways so you can take photos of the falls from several different vantage points, There is a B&B just across from the falls where we stayed a few years ago (Brandywine Falls Inn).. There's also a pretty impressive heron rookery in the area where plenty of the birds stop during the spring nesting season. Winter, there are a couple of nearby ski hills and, if there is enough snow, you can cross country ski or snowshoe. My only disappointment this trip was that there wasn't enough snow for me to bring my cross country skis or to try snowshoeing this trip... The little village of Peninsula within the park is also a fun stop. There's the old train depot (which is now a park info center), a bike rental place, and the Winking Lizard (which still has the vintage "Peninsula NIght Club" sign...and where you still can get a burger and beer lunch).
