Paddling near Trenton, NJ

Set in Mercer County at the Delaware River's historic fall line, Trenton splits two distinct paddling worlds: free-flowing non-tidal water upstream and tidal water below. The marquee corridor is the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park, a 70-mile linear park threading five counties, while the Delaware River itself offers float trips and the Abbott Marshlands add over 3,000 acres of tidal wetland just south of the city.
