Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Access

This access point provides entry to the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park's 70-mile multi-use trail system in Hunterdon County, featuring crushed stone pathways suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

Paddlers can launch canoes and kayaks on the canal's gently flowing waters, though portaging over concrete locks is required; boat launch permits are needed for Delaware River access from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The park offers multiple trailheads with parking areas, and anglers can fish along the entire canal length year-round.
