Delaware Canal State Park, State park along Delaware River in Pennsylvania, United States.
The canal stretches 58.89 miles between Easton and Bristol, featuring a historic towpath, a 50-acre pond, and multiple river islands.
The canal system, constructed during the mid-1800s, operated until 1931, transporting coal and goods from Lehigh Canal to Philadelphia industrial centers.
The Locktender's House in New Hope functions as headquarters for Friends of Delaware Canal, presenting exhibitions about canal transportation history.
The park remains accessible from sunrise to sunset throughout the year, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, and cross-country skiing.
Eleven protected Delaware River islands within the park boundaries contain archaeological remains and serve as habitats for migrating waterfowl.
