About the Friends of the Delaware Canal

Our Mission:

The Friends of the Delaware Canal works to protect, preserve, and improve the historic Delaware Canal and its surroundings.  Our primary initiatives are to support The Pennsylvania Department of Natural Resources (DCNR) & the Delaware Canal State Park to maintain a fully watered canal and usable towpath trail from Easton to Bristol.

We embrace this mission in order to sustain a unique link to our heritage, protect beautiful and diverse natural areas, provide educational and recreational opportunities, and enable the Canal to serve as a community and economic asset.
