Overview
Delaware Canal State Park is a nearly 60-mile linear park along the Delaware River, preserving the towpath where mules pulled canal boats. Its original locks, aqueducts, and stonework are still visible, and the flat trail links river towns such as New Hope and Easton for walking and biking. The park also has river islands and a 50-acre pond, with interpretive signs and seasonal events.
