— Delaware Canal Lock 19 State Park —
Follow the river Stay close to the source! Locks raised - locks lowered Control nature's force!
Construction complete Eighteen thirty-two! Transport hundred tons Open frontier new!
Big step for progress History books do tell! We eased life's burden Used this canal!
Now, some fly by jet Our world is so large! Some in nostalgia Prefer mule drawn barge!
Quaint scenic wonder Roosevelt State Park! New Hope shares with you This high water mark!
