Assawoman Canal
The Assawoman Canal is a canal in Sussex County, Delaware. The canal links the Indian River Bay to the north with the Little Assawoman Bay to the south. It is bordered by Bethany Beach and South Bethany to the east and Ocean View to the west.[1][2]
The Assawoman Canal was initially dug by hand in the 1890s by immigrant labor.[3] The canal was last dredged in the 1950s. It is no longer deep enough to handle the boat traffic that once passed through it when it was part of the Intracoastal Waterway.[4] Because of it, Fenwick Island is detached from the Delaware mainland.
