Friends of Delaware Canal Locktender's House

Comment on Facebook

The Friends of the Delaware Canal is a non-profit organization working to restore, preserve, and improve the Delaware Canal and its surroundings. Our primary goals are to ensure that the Canal is fully-watered from Easton to Bristol and that the towpath trail is usable over its entire length. 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; enable the Canal to serve as a community and economic asset.
