The trail follows along the Tulpehocken Creek, named by the Lenni-Lenape Native Americans, the earliest inhabitants to the area. Tulpehocken means the "Land of the Turtles." This secluded valley trail has witnessed the successive arrival of farmers, millers, canal men, real estate developers, and now park visitors. Today, a 306-acre county park traces a 4.5 mile stretch of the creek from Stonecliffe Park to Reber's bridge. In addition, a 1.8-mile connector trail links the Union Canal Trail to the Blue Marsh Lake trail system. Along these paths, the natural and historic heritage of the area has been preserved for future generations. Many of the old structures you see have withstood the test of time. Others can only be recognized by the rubble ruins that remain.
