Delaware Canal State Park
The only remaining continuously intact canal of the great towpath canal building era
Outsider Tip

Support the Park
Contact the park office to reach volunteer groups like Friends of Delaware Canal, the Historic Delaware Canal Improvement Corp. and the Delaware River Greenway Partnership.
Stroll through a stretch of American history at Delaware Canal State Park, a 60-mile linear park along the Delaware River from Easton to Bristol. Once trod by mule teams pulling cargo-laden boats along the canal, the towpath is used today by people looking for exercise and recreation.
Joggers and cyclists embrace the historic canal and towpath, and nature enthusiasts enjoy the wildlife that thrive on the many miles of river shoreline and 11 river islands.
Meanwhile, there's plenty of fun on the water, too. The river and canal that the path follows offer ample opportunities for fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
COME PREPARED
State boating and fishing regulations apply. Portions of the park remain closed due to damage from Hurricane Ivan and a flood. The park closes at sunset. Alcohol is prohibited and pets must be leashed.
DON'T MISS
Travel back in time on board a river boat with the Delaware River Canal Boat Company. They offer unique, river tours aboard a replica canal boat drawn by a team of mules on the Delaware Canal through historic New Hope and into the scenic Bucks County countryside. Experience life along the Delaware Canal as it was in the 1800s.
