Summer Along The Delaware Canal ...

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”

      ~ Ansel Adams

         ~1902-1984

A painterly view of summer along the Delaware Canal at Groundhog Lock (Locks 22 and 23, which were combined into a double lock in the mid-1850s) along the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Delaware Canal State Park, Raubsville, Pennsylvania.

 

The spot is the site of the Theodore Roosevelt Recreation Area Trailhead of the D&L Trail; the trailhead is locally known as Groundhog Lock.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
