The Friends of the Delaware Canal is pleased to see the investment being made by the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in our beloved canal and towpath. However, with this investment comes construction closures, lack of water and often a lack of patience. All are understandable.
To help everyone navigate the towpath, we’ve created a list of all closures from north to south, with milepost marker designations. This information, along with our FODC Landmark and Mileage Chart, should assist both hikers and bikers. Unless specified, all closures are in Bucks County.
- Raubsville sub-canal culvert, Williams Township, Northampton County (MP 53.26)
- High Falls Creek sub-canal culvert, Bridgeton Township (MP 44.27)
- Canal Ln. – Bridgeton Township (MP 43)
- Bridge 4 [Smithtown Bridge 4] Tinicum Township (MP 35.5)
- Bridge 3 [Smithtown Bridge 3] Tinicum Township (MP 35)
- Lumberville Aqueduct Pedestrian Bridge, Solebury Township (Mile Post 31.11)
- Bowman’s Hill Wastegate* – Upper Makefield Twp (MP 21.8)
Our goal is to ensure that you have the information you need to enjoy the park safely and responsibly. One thing is clear, we all treasure this park as a valued natural resource. It is unique in the state and deserves to be restored and preserved for future generations.
