Pennsylvania Canal

Northumberland County · dedicated 1952 · Water St. (US 11)

The North Branch and West Branch Divisions, built 1828-34, joined here in Northumberland at a canal basin. Boats with coal from Nanticoke or lumber from Williamsport locked down into the river nearby and re-entered the Canal on the west bank.
