The Delaware Canal State Park is planning for a maintenance drawdown of the canal beginning on October 13th, 2023. The canal will be drawn down to perform debris removal and other work associated with the 7/15 storm event.

Work associated with this drawdown will take place from New Hope through Upper Makefield Township at multiple locations. The canal will be dewatered from New Hope though Bristol and rolling trail closures can be expected. Once
complete, water will be re-introduced.
