Few people who lived and worked along the Canal could imagine building a life without the mule. Mules, it is said, were the engines of the Canal. Or put another way, the workhorses moving coal from Mauch Chunk (present-day Jim Thorpe) to Bristol.

The Canal inspires artists of every kind who capture the beauty of this landscape. Two outstanding photographers generously share their talent with us weekly – Carole Mebus and Judy Greger. Hats off to Carole and Judy for their skill, artistry and willingness to share with all of us.

The Friends of the Delaware Canal received the Trail of the Year Award from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The timing for this recognition is perfect. It coincides with the Friends’ 40th anniversary.

“Something has to be done!” Many notable people have made significant contributions to the Canal over the years. And, while we can’t mention them all, we can honor those that left a unique legacy for future generations.

The Friends of the Delaware Canal are celebrating their 40-year anniversary. Since 1982, we have accomplished many things! We are so grateful to the many volunteers and supporters who have helped protect and preserve the Delaware Canal for generations to come.
