  • EXPANDING and PROTECTING HIKING OPPORTUNITIES in TWENTIETH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA Silas Chamberlin
    “TO ENSURE PERMANENCY”: EXPANDING AND PROTECTING HIKING OPPORTUNITIES IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA Silas Chamberlin Lehigh University n November 1938, a headline buried deep inside the “ Resorts-Travel” section of the New York Times read, “Horseshoe ITrail Open: Bridle-and-Foot Path in Pennsylvania Passes Historic Places.” The article described the character of the new foot and equestrian trail blazed by the Horse Shoe Trail Club of Philadelphia. “Instead of succumbing to the temptation to make the trail easy,” the 116-mile trail followed the “highest ridges” through five southeastern Pennsylvania counties, connecting Valley Forge with the Appalachian Trail at Manada Gap, just outside of Harrisburg. Although reportedly “one of the ‘clean- est’ paths of its type in the country,” the Horse Shoe Trail was “shorter than many another American trail”—a reference to the recently completed Appalachian Trail—and, therefore, “must base its claim to recognition . on the variety of terrain through which it [ran]” and the great number of historic sites it passed. Finally—if natural beauty and historical relevance were not enough—the trail offered good terrain for “enjoying the Southern pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 77, no. 2, 2010.

  • Open Space and Recreation Design and Development
    middle branch Baltimore City Department of Planning The Rowing Club was constructed in the 1980’s and is still operating Open Space and successfully today. Recreation “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” - William Shakespeare Sustainable open space and recreation systems protect and enhance the social, ecological and economic viability of community open spaces. These spaces are not treated as ‘isolated’ or ‘empty’ areas between properties, but rather inter-connected elements, with each serving as integral pieces of a larger system. In the Middle Branch Plan, the water and ecological systems provide the foundation of the waterfront community. The overall goals of the Middle Branch Open Space and Recreation program are to maintain a sufficient amount and distribution of open space such that diverse uses and opportunities can be created, including natural habitat areas, passive recreation areas and active recreation areas. PB Middle Branch Master Plan Open Space and Recreation 19 • Natural habitat areas will be set aside for visual enjoyment and guided education only. These areas will ‘belong’ to the birds and animals for their use. • Passive recreation areas will include spaces for sitting, picnicking and quiet contemplation. • Active recreation areas include spaces for ball playing, scull racing, fishing or other water-based recreation. All of these spaces will highlight the intrinsic attributes of the Middle Branch’s environment, minimize ecological impacts and provide economic and social benefits on a long term, sustainable basis. In the Middle Branch, open space and recreation will contribute to the quality of life, accessible to everyone. Our open space and recreation system will bring communities together through accessibility, People escaped the city and came to the quiet Middle Branch to programming and education.
