Canal Clean-up Day 2025

The Friends of the Delaware Canal Clean-Up Day is scheduled for April 12, 2025. Nearly the full  length of the Canal and towpath will get its annual spring cleaning through the efforts of Area Coordinators, Canal Tenders, and hundreds of volunteers.

This year, many of our Coordinators and Canal Tenders have reported that their sections are in good condition. However, towpath sections, particularly in the canal’s southern end, can always use additional hands to help.

So, pull out your work gloves and come out on April 12 to get the Canal ready for the busy season. If you have a canoe or kayak, please bring it along.

It is the hard work of all our volunteers on clean-up day and throughout the year that makes this vital greenway a welcoming place for all.

Oh, and pictures, don’t forget to send pictures.
