The Lehigh Canal, or the Lehigh Navigation Canal, is a navigable canal that begins at the mouth of Nesquehoning Creek on the Lehigh River in eastern Pennsylvania. It was built in two sections over a span of twenty years, beginning in 1818. The lower section spanned the distance between Easton and present-day Jim Thorpe. In Easton, the canal met the Delaware and Morris Canals, which allowed goods to be transported further up the U.S. East Coast. At its height, the Lehigh Canal was 72 miles (116 km) long.

  • Der Lehigh Canal ist ein Binnenschifffahrtsweg, der gebaut wurde, um den Transport von Anthrazitkohle aus dem Lehigh Valley zu den Käufern im Nordosten zu bringen, insbesondere nach Philadelphia. Als man größere Vorkommen von Anthrazitkohle entdeckte, wurde die Lehigh Coal Mine Company gegründet, um die Kohle über den Lehigh River zum Delaware River und weiter über die Verbindung zum in Easton zu den Verbrauchern in Philadelphia zu bringen.
