Calvert Regional Park - Woodland Trail
304 Brick Meeting House Road, North East, MD 21901
5.2 miles from Rising Sun
Length .4 mile
Along the paved Tari Moore Trail there is a short 4. mile
woodland path. The entrance is unmarked, but it is on the
far side of the trail next to the athletic fields (going
clockwise on the trail the entrance is on the left). Once on
the trail the path is marked by blue then red blazes.
Halfway through the trail opens into a field; continue left
along the forest edge and the path continues back into the
woods, finishing at the starting point. This is a dirt path
that winds through the forest and can be muddy at parts,
with exposed tree roots, making this a moderately difficult
trail. A stream runs along part of the trail.
Parking Paved parking lot, plentiful
Hours Open Dawn to dusk
Restrooms Portapots available
Terrain Easy dirt path, mostly flat with some
exposed roots and muddy spots.
Forest provides shade.

Where to Go Camping
There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program. -
Marcus Hook Borough Comprehensive Plan Task Force in the Preparation of This Document
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MARCUS HOOK BOROUGH Delaware County, Pennsylvania 2002 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE BOROUGH OF MARCUS HOOK OCTOBER 7, 2002 Prepared for the citizens of the Borough of Marcus Hook by the Delaware County Planning Department This project was financed in part with funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, P.L. 93-383 (as amended). Printed on Recycled Paper The logo was approved by Borough Council on February 3, 1992. It was designed to represent the overall character, culture, and history of Marcus Hook and incorporates the Borough’s motto “The Cornerstone of Pennsylvania.” The diamond shape represents the quality in the Borough. The Municipal Building façade was chosen as a unique Marcus Hook landmark. The people in front of it represent the diverse community support and the public/private partnerships which have contributed to the vitality of the Borough. The sunburst at the top shows the bright and promising future ahead. Wrapping the two sides are sycamore trees which are native to the Borough and reflect the new growth, attention to the environment, and concern for the beautification of the community. The straight and wavy stars and stripes lend a patriotic feel. The waves represent Marcus Hook’s proud beginning as a waterfront settlement. The five stars refer to the five star quality of life as well as the five war memorials throughout the Borough.

Returning the American Eel to the Susquehanna River

THE OLD WOODEN COVERED BRIDGES of the OCTORARO by D
I. THE OLD WOODEN COVERED BRIDGES OF THE OCTORARO By D. F. Magee, Esq. When in about 1905 the engineering corps and the executive officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company selected the Octoraro Creek as the sole source of their supply of pure water for their engines in use on the eastern division of their main line, and the low grade road the great freight line of this Company between Harrisburg and the Philadelphia and New York terminals, they did so, as they publicly stated, because they found it to be the purest large stream of water in Pennsylvania. This is the exact fact today and will no doubt continue to be the fact for all the years to come. It was then stated by them that from its headwaters about Christiana to its mouth at Octoraro junction where it empties into the Susquehanna river just at the head of tide water, there was no impure material of any kind from village, factory, mill or mine which entered it throughout its flow, a distance of some twenty-eight miles by air line and probably twice that distance by the true course of the winding stream. This freedom from the usual unhealthy conditions effecting most all streams of its size greatly enhances the beauty and charm of this stream as it flows in its bed today, rippling and gleaming in the sunlight through miles of wooded hills and verdant meadows, as they alternate on its borders, to be alternately supplied with the purest of waters from springs far back in the woodland then to distribute this again in irrigating fashion to the thousand of acres of grazing lands afar down its winding valley. -
Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018. -
