Event Type

The 48-ton Josiah White II canal boat plies the waters of old Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal in Hugh Moore Park. Our trained and authentically-dressed crew interprets the story of the anthracite canals and the people who worked and lived on them. Our two mules – Hank and George – tow the boat on a leisurely trip from the National Canal Museum to the Locktender’s House and back.

Canal boat tours are 45 minutes long.  Tours run rain or shine, except during thunderstorms or high winds.  To ensure the health, safety, and enjoyment of everyone, the boat rides have limited capacity and socially-distanced seating.  Masks are required while onboard.  Reservations are strongly recommended (click button below).  Walk-ins may be accommodated if space allows.
