		The Delaware Canal is the only remaining continuously intact canal of the great towpath canal building era of the early and mid-19th century.
		Together, the Delaware Canal State Park and the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park have formed a series of looping trails connecting Pennsylvania and New Jersey, using five bridges.
		By simply parking in one of several areas located along the loop trail, visitors have easy access to the canal towpaths in both states, and can ride, walk of jog a complete loop back to their car.

	About the Park: History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The canal was designed to handle a 34-ft. rise through three locks and a 69 ft. fall through seven more for a net difference of 35 ft. between the two rivers.
		The busiest year for the canal was 1830, when a total of 700 barges and boats, laden primarily with cotton, traveled through the waterway.
		Old Santee Canal Park is centered where the southernmost section of the canal enters the quiet waters of Biggin Creek and the surrounding swamps.

	Blackstone Heritage State Park
		This park is operated in conjunction with the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor which extends from Worcester to Providence, Rhode Island.
		Inspired by the success of the Erie Canal (begun in 1817) and spurred by the expansion of textile manufacturing along the Blackstone River in the early 19th century, the Blackstone Canal was built to link Central Massachusetts to the Atlantic via Providence, RI.
		Most of the canal structures are now gone, but the remains of lock chambers, dams, bridges, workers' housing, and a company store serve to remind us of the rich industrial history of the Blackstone River Valley.

	Canal Park - Ballpark of the Akron Aeros
		Canal Park is yet another one of those ballparks that attempts to combine a comfortable "old-style" feel with modern luxury.
		The park's location is one of its greatest assets: it's built right into a city block.
		Canal Park is perhaps the most luxurious stadium in the League, and maybe even in minor league baseball (I haven't been to a whole lot of parks, so perhaps a more experienced reader of this page could enlighten me on this).

	About us: Canal History
		Only two canal systems were successfully completed in Indiana: the 101 mile Whitewater Canal from Hagerstown to Cincinnati, and the Wabash and Erie Canal from the eastern state line near Fort Wayne to Evansville on the Ohio River.
		In Indiana, the Canal was built mostly by Irish immigrants using shovels, picks, wheelbarrows, and the horse-drawn slip-scoop.
		The cost of carving the Canal from wilderness and the expense of the waterway's subsequent upkeep far exceeded the expectations and the funds set aside for the project.

		Parking areas with foot-bridge access to the Trail are located at Poolsbrook and Cedar Bay picnic areas within the park.
		The Feeder Canal was built in the late 1820s to help maintain the water level in the Champlain Canal, since the section between Fort Ann and Fort Edward was higher than the rest of the Canal.
		The New York State Canal Corporation's long-range goal for the Canalway Trail System is to create a cross-State network of multi-use trails that will span nearly 500 miles across upstate New York, paralleling major portions of the 524-mile New York State Canal System.

		The Morris Canal Greenway encompasses part of the historic Morris Canal's alignment and is a cooperative effort of the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, the Canal Society of New Jersey, Waterloo Village and Friends of the Morris Canal.
		Although employed on a smaller scale on English canals, the inclined plane was adapted for the Morris Canal and used to conquer changes of elevation anywhere from 35 feet to 100 feet.
		Moreover, State Parks and Forestry staff constructed a timber footbridge to carry the path over a former canal waste gate, a short distance west of Waterloo Village, and interpretive signage is to be erected this spring along the canal near Waterloo.

	Princeton Township - Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park
		The main canal extended from Bordentown to New Brunswick, with a "feeder" canal from Raven Rock in Hunterton County to Trenton.
		In addition to these indigenous species, the canal is stocked with two species unable to breed in the canal, trout and tiger muskellunge, a cross between the northern pike and the muskellunge.
		As noted, the Princeton segment of the Canal Park is popular for bird watching because of its proximity to the Institute for Advanced Study Woods and Charles Rogers Wildlife Refuge.

	Washington Canal Park - Near Southeast DC Revitalization
		Conceptual Canal Park sketch from Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Ltd.
		Two views of the eastern side of the park's footprint (so the park would run along the right)--first, looking south down the eastern 2nd Street from K Street: this is the view to the south along the eastern side of the park....
		This block will eventually be the northernmost portion of Washington Canal Park, and while I'd like to believe that the cleanup is tied to some sort of movement on the park, I won't really be optimistic until the DC school buses are removed from the other two blocks of the park.

	Park on Canal Street Gets Going at Last (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		For all the city's talk of plans to create a park on the triangular lot at Canal, Varick and Laight Streets, the site for years has been nothing more than dusty dead space, marked off by orange construction barrels and wind-whipped police tape.
		Wittwer-Laird presented the plan for the unnamed park to Community Board 1 last month and said that the design had already passed muster with the city's Arts Commission, which must approve changes to city-owned property that are visible from the street.
		The park is one of six public spaces for which the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation in February allocated $19.5 million, which the Parks Department will receive in June.

	Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and Towpath
		Construction of the Canal began in on July 4, 1828, the same day the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was begun.
		Parts of the Canal have been rewatered and other towns along its path are hoping to do the same in the future, but in the meantime, much of the bed of the Canal is filled with trees and shrubs.
		You can also see smaller trees such as Pawpaws (the fruits of which may someday soon appear in local supermarkets!) and bushes such as Spicebushes, which are very noticeable in the early spring with their small clusters of yellow flowers that appear before the leaves.

	Delaware Canal
		The Delaware Canal is a sixty-mile long, sixty-foot wide linear park that begins in Easton and ends in Bristol.
		Residential development is encroaching in many areas along the canal and with that, sedimentation from stormwater runoff has reduced the canal's water depth from 5 feet to less that 1 foot in some places.
		The Delaware Canal Master Plan was developed in an attempt to, among other things, regulate some of the land uses that are negatively impacting on the canal and park.

	Canal Corridor Driving Tour
		While this “boat” is grounded in the park, this type of canal vessel, used in the mid to late 1800’s, could carry 60,000 to 150,000 pounds of cargo between Chicago and LaSalle and could make the 96-mile trip in approximately 24 hours.
		A school curriculum for Morris’ role in the IandM Canal Corridor was distributed to area schools by the Canal Corridor Association and is used in conjunction with school visits to the park.
		Since canal life was often a family affair, the lives of Charles Washburn, a long-time boat captain on the IandM Canal, as well as his wife Martha and son Frank will be featured.

	D&R Canal Park in New Jersey Northwest Skylands
		The engineering of the canal proved well-studied, as the resultant system of locks, combined with accurate calculations of width, depth and water flow, required minimal refinements during the commercial life of the canal.
		The flow in the main canal, 75 feet wide and 7 feet deep was sustained by the feeder, 22 miles long, 50 feet wide and 6 feet deep.
		In 1974, one year after the canal and its remaining structures were entered on the National Register of Historic Places, over 60 miles of the canal and the narrow strip of land on both banks became a state park.
