Or, head to the National Canal Museum where you can take a leisurely ride on the Josiah White II, the state's only mule-drawn canal boat.
If you're looking to stretch your legs, take advantage of a number of trails within a short distance of the Lafayette Inn. Spanning nearly 165 miles, the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor offers views of the aforementioned canal along a flat, even pathway that can be traveled via foot or bike. For a dose of culture along your walk, make your way to the Karl Stirner Arts Trail where you'll find sculptures and other pieces of artwork dotting the landscape.
Ready to quench your thirst? Craft beer lovers will find plenty of treats throughout Easton. On the city's southern edge is Weyerbacher Brewing Company, offering up a number big, bold beers.
