Delaware Canal Towpath Closures/Avoidances Due to TD Ida

Delaware Canal Towpath Closures/Avoidances Due to TD Ida

September 7, 2021

If you plan to use the towpath be sure to use extreme caution due to damages sustained from Hurricane Ida. It is highly advised that visitors avoid the section of towpath between Easton (MP 58.89) and Point Pleasant, Lock 14 (MP 32.3). There are downed trees and debris along the entire length of the towpath. The towpath is closed in the area of Upper Black Eddy (MP 43) due to a bank collapse and washout to the river.  Areas of SR 611 and River Road (RT 32) are washed out leaving areas inaccessible. The Day Use Recreation Areas at Theodore Roosevelt (MP 53.1) will remain closed due to ongoing cleanup efforts. Heed all signs for road and towpath closures. Traveling by car near the park may be difficult to navigate.

If you plan to go to Ralph Stover State Park this weekend, use caution on trails. There will be limited parking due to parking lot washouts.

Upcoming Towpath Closure in Upper Black Eddy

Upcoming Towpath Closure in Upper Black Eddy

June 11, 2021

TOWPATH CLOSURE STARTING TUESDAY JULY 6TH AT SPHARS CAMMELBACK BRIDGE, UPPER BLACK EDDY (MILE 42.70 TO MILE 41.84): The towpath will be CLOSED between Berm Lane Bridge and Lodi Hill Road in Upper Black Eddy starting 7/6/2021. The purpose of this closure is for the cataloging and deconstruction of the Sphar’s Camelback Bridge. This bridge is one of six remaining authentic camelback bridges that can be found along the entire 58.9 mile length of the Canal and they are an iconic structure to the two-hundred year old National Historic Landmark. The purpose of this deconstruction is to prepare the site for future bridge abutment repairs and the eventual rehabilitation of the superstructure. Trail users should turn around at the closure and NOT attempt to get by it, as heavy equipment will be blocking the towpath and for other safety concerns. The park anticipates this closure to be intermittent in nature over the next 60 days; however, this is a tentative timeline subject to being lessened or extended. Upon access being restored this advisory will be removed.
