Along all 58.9 miles of the Canal
Mark Your Calendars! Saturday, April 6 is Canal Clean-Up Day at Delaware Canal State Park. The Friends of the Delaware Canal sponsor this annual event to help fulfill our mission of ensuring that the Canal is fully-watered and the towpath trail is useable over its entire length.
Volunteers are asked to clear trash, debris, and brush from the historic waterway and towpath from Bristol to Easton, PA. Canal Clean-Up Day activities begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon, and volunteers will be working along the Canal’s entire 58.9-mile length.
The Canal and towpath will be divided into 32 sections for Clean-Up Day and the full list of locations and contact information for individual Coordinators is listed below. Help is especially needed in the highlighted red areas and you may contact the Coordinator directly. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
