Following the towpath of the historic North Branch Division of the Pennsylvania Canal, this trail offers a journey through time and nature along the Susquehanna River. Built in the 1830s to transport coal and goods between Pittston and Northumberland, the canal once bustled with mule-drawn boats and commerce. Today, its 12+ miles of crushed stone and natural surface lead hikers and cyclists past remnants of locks, aqueducts, and river views—linking the region’s industrial past to its outdoor future.
