Bushkill Creek Greenway Master Plan

A Climate Change Action Plan

The Bushkill Creek Greenway Master Plan is a visionary yet practical path forward for this beloved linear corridor of parks and trails, ensuring it remains a resilient, vibrant, and welcoming community asset for generations to come. Bushkill Creek Greenway Master Plan unites various trails and public spaces as a cohesive greenway experience for the first time, rather than a bike trail and collection of waterfront parks.

One of the first rails-to-trails projects in the United States, the 122-acre Bushkill Creek Greenway is a place to fish, swim, play, gather, and connect with nature. The master plan envisions a Greenway where resilient landscapes meet recreation, and heritage meets innovation. By investing in both infrastructure and ecology, the plan ensures that this riparian corridor remains a safe, accessible, and dynamic place for future generations. The plan about celebrating a unique landscape, strengthening community identity, and building resilience in the face of climate change.
