The Towpath Trail Snack Shack is participating with the Ohio & Erie Canalway Adopt-A-Trail Towpath Trail program and also the Ohio Department of Transportation Adopt-A-Highway program. The two programs are independant of each other and both require waivers and a safety class to particapate. We meet the last Saturday monthly at 10 AM at the McDonnell trailhead. Upon completion of the McDonnell trailhead cleanup, we start the Rt 212 Scenic Byway cleanup and hike to the four mile marker by NAPA east of Bolivar for a total of 3 miles.
