Description
You know the old saying "when they say it isn't about the money, it's about the money"? Well in this case they say it's about the fishing, but I'm pretty sure it isn't about the fishing. People seem to be paying attention to everything except their fishing poles at this spot along the Delaware Raritan Canal in Princeton, NJ
Built in the 1830s the Delaware Raritan Canal served to connect the Delaware River on the west coast of New Jersey with the Raritan River on the east coast of New Jersey. It was intended as a means of transportation of freight between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York City, especially coal from the anthracite coal fields in eastern Pennsylvania.
In 1974, most of the canal system was declared a New Jersey state park. A graded natural-surface trail along the side of the canal, which was the tow path that mules used to tow barges on the canal before steam powered barges, is now used for hiking, jogging, bicycling, and horseback riding.
