Is there Gold in the Canal?
You would be surprised at what we catch in our booms. Today we pulled 130-150 pounds of trash that would have flowed into Summit Lake. Lots of folks using the towpath and we must say, “Thank You for all the kinds words of encouragement!” It really does help. Again, thank you Summit Metro Parks for…

And, thank you to Norton Service Dept and Larry Hess for picking up our collected trash. These are two of our biggest hurdles to putting booms in. Permission for…
