Delaware Canal

Point Pleasant, PA Area


Old Tohickon Creek Aqueduct

This aqueduct was a part of the Delaware Canal, standing over Tohickon Creek, for decades. But, by 1995, when this picture was taken, it had deteriorated so badly that it could no longer carry canal water. 10/7/95

New Tohickon Creek Aqueduct

This Aqueduct was built to replace the previous Tohickon Creek Aqueduct. It was opened in 2002. 10/5/02

Lock 14 and Lock Tender's House

Lock 14 and the Lock Tender's House, now privately owned. The Canal here has no water in this 1995 photo because the old Tohicon Creek Aquaduct cannot carry water. The boards in the lower left corner brings the towpath over a waste gate. This would allow excess water to be let out of the canal. 10/7/95
