EspañolPENNSYLVANIA CANAL (DELAWARE DIVISION)
The 'Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal' runs from the Lehigh River at Easton, Pennsylvania to Bristol, Pennsylvania. It runs parallel to the Delaware River generally within sight of the river.
The canal was build to carry coal, limestone, cement, and lumber from the northeastern reaches of Pennsylvania to Philadelphia
The canal was built in the middle decades of the 19th century and ran its last commercial traffic in the 1930's. There have been mule-drawn barges providing rides for tourists and chartered private parties running from the locks at New Hope, Pennsylvania to a point about a mile and a half above Centre Bridge since the late 1950's.
The Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal and its towpath became the Theodore Roosevelt State Park in the early 1950's when the berms were restored and the canal was refilled with water. The park was renamed the Delaware Canal State Park in 1989.
