    The 60-mile long Delaware Canal towpath runs from Easton to Bristol; and is part of the Delaware and Lehigh (D&L) Trail - the foundation of the 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor.

    Once trod by mule teams pulling cargo-laden boats along the canal, the towpath is used today by:

    • Walkers
    • Joggers
    • Bicyclists
    • Cross-country skiers
    • Bird watchers

    The towpath connects the Upper and Lower sections of the park.
