D and H Canal

The Delaware and Hudson Canal was built in the 1820s to bring coal from the mountains of Pennsylvania to New York City markets. It is preserved today in the Town of Mamakating as an historic linear park which spans the entire length of Mamakating. Hike the towpath and visit the remains of the canal locks.
