Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission 2021 Annual Report

As a Delaware River community, this may be of interest to the general public, and we share the Delaware and Raritan Canal’s 2021 Annual Report. 

The report supplies messages from the Executive Director the Vice-Chairman, information about the Commission, and a historical overview of the Canal… Through the Years.  In addition, it reports on some of the challenges faced during the year including the extensive damage caused by Tropical Storm Ida and how the unprecedented deluge and its subsequent flooding impacted 45-50 miles of the park’s multiuse trail.  A financial overview, a list of approved projects within the area, and other information that may be of interest to all of us who live within the areas served by this treasured resource are also available. 

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the ongoing work that protects and preserves this highly valued and popular canal and state park that passes through 5 counties and 34 municipalities.  To learn more about the Commission, please visit their webpage on the DEP at Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission | Home Page (nj.gov).
