Perki-bay expedition

Description:
The Perki-Bay expedition is a 5-day canoe trip where members of our youth conservation program paddle the Perkiomen Creek from the Conservancy headquarters in Schwenksville to the cusp of the Delaware Bay. Our goal for this expedition is to highlight the Perkiomen Creek’s official designation as a new Pennsylvania State Water Trail and to generate increased community support for the protection of the creek.
