Museum Notice

Due to the closure of the Glendon Hill Road Bridge leading into Hugh Moore Park, the National Canal Museum, DLNHC offices, and archives will be temporarily closed through the remainder of 2026. As a result, our research capacity will be limited, and we will be unable to accommodate archival visits during this time.

Paddle or Pedal Along a Historic Canal!

There are more than two miles of the placid, fully restored Lehigh Canal in Hugh Moore Park, located alongside the D&L Trail. Explore the canal and D&L Trail on a paddleboat, canoe, kayak or bike available for rent next to the dock of the Josiah White II canal boat. Staff inside the Welcome Center will help you choose the right craft or bike and assist you with getting underway. Life jackets and helmets are available for children and adults.
