Outsider Tip
A canal barge is a great and unique place to hold your next party — each boat can hold 80 people and private parties and group excursions are welcome.

Floating down the Delaware Canal, a Registered National Historic Landmark, behind a team of mules on this replica of a mule-drawn barge will be great fun for the entire family.

Your trip will start in historic downtown New Hope and then travel through history along the scenic Bucks County countryside, experiencing life along the Delaware Canal as it was in the 1800s.

Hear interesting tales of canal days related by an interpreter in period costume as you keep your eye for native birds, plants and other wildlife.
