Delaware and Raritan Canal Park

Canoeing is only one of the many activities available at the park.

The park features more than 50 miles of trails for hiking and bicycling.

The Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park encompasses a 77-mile canal corridor and Bull's Island, an 83-acre forested island.

The island, located at canal's head, is reached by auto bridge from New Jersey and by footbridge from Pennsylvania. It is New Jersey's second most-visited birdwatching spot, due in part to the endangered cliff swallows that nest under the footbridge.

There are 69 campsites on the island, including a few secluded walk-in sites.

Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, the canal is now used by canoeists and boaters, with no gas engines allowed. There is fishing but no swimming.

A multiple-use trail runs along the canal for its full length, popular for hiking, bicycling and horseback riding.
