Take a Trip Back To America’s Age of Canals
The National Canal Museum Opens for the Season on Friday, March 27!
NOTE
: Due to planned construction on the
Glendon Hill Road Bridge
, the National Canal Museum will operate on a shortened schedule this year. Our 2026 season will run from Friday, March 27 through the end of May. Public canal boat rides will

Easton’s Hugh Moore Park is a picturesque extension of the City of Easton where America’s golden age of canals is on full display.
With more than two miles of restored Lehigh Canal, a canal boat attraction unlike any other in Pennsylvania and the rest of the Northeast, and one of the country’s largest canal heritage museums, the 520-acre park nestled between the Lehigh Canal and Lehigh River is a throwback to the years when mules pulling canal boats on narrow towpaths was a common sight in much of the United States east of the Mississippi River.
Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor
interprets this fascinating period of American history in the park through the National Canal Museum and rides on the 110-passenger
Josiah White II canal boat
(June-October). Explore our fun, hands-on exhibits highlighting 19th century canal life and technology.
New improvements to Hugh Moore Park have made it a destination that families do not want to miss! A playground, bike skills course, dog park, and multi-use path await you. You can also
rent
bikes, canoes, paddleboats, and kayaks to explore the park from the Welcome Center (June-October).
Take time to explore the information on this website and get
directions
before you visit. Please note that tour groups may be present while planning your visit to our museum. As a small museum, we recommend allowing yourself ample time to explore, especially if there are groups also enjoying the museum during your visit.
