Planet Walk

Take a stroll on this celestial-bound path and cover a symbolic journey of nearly 4 billion miles in less than a mile.

The Riverlands' "Planet Walk" invites visitors to take a journey from the sun to Pluto by following a series of laminated interpretive markers on sturdy yellow pine posts that parallel the towpath of the North Branch Canal.

They're spaced to show the size and distance between each planet. Along your journey, you'll learn about the size of our solar system and the vastness of space.
