From the sound of it, that's an easy detour. You just haul your bike up some steps, across a foot bridge, then ride along the old Berma Road to the parking area across from Old Angler's Inn, at which point you can get back to the towpath.

I guess Widewater's a little wider now.

And, also in reference to the posts there: I'll bet Sheetz in Hancock is happy about the new restrooms down at the boat launch. That'll make theirs just that much less crowded.
