Travel Back In Time
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 and leave the dock at 12, 1:30, and 3PM. Tours run rain or shine, except during thunderstorms, high winds, hazardous air quality conditions or extreme heat. The canal boat is wheelchair accessible. RESERVATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
Canal Boat Rides will be offered in 2025 from June 4 through November 2. Saturday & Sunday only from October 4 to November 2.
