    Excellent place to take a walk, ride a ride or run while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

    Our group on the NJ side of the towpath/canal.

    I have been up along both sides of the Delaware many times in a car or on my bike but this was the first time I have ridden on the Tow Path. We parked our car on the NJ side on River Road in Titusville. There is a parking lot and a bathroom directly across the bridge to Washington's Crossing. We rode up the PA side first and the trail is very well maintained. There were some great views of the canal and the Delaware river. It was also really cool to see some of the incredible houses that face the river on the way up. We passed other cyclists, joggers, walkers and dogs. Everyone was very friendly. We crossed back over to NJ at Bull's Island. There is a small walking bridge that connects the two states. The bridge is beautiful and gave a great view of the Delaware. There is also very clean bathrooms on the NJ side. The path back was also pretty cool and brought us through the towns of Stockton and Lambertville. It was interesting to see these towns and also New Hope from the canal path. Both sides of the canal path were in great shape and it is really a beautiful part of area. The park service of both states have done a great job with this park!

    Flat trail running alongside the Delaware river. Can do multiple combinations of loops for anything from a handful to a hundred miles - see photo - combining the paths on the NJ and PA sides. Gorgeous river and bridge views and small towns to stop in if you want. Trail varies in quality from wide flat gravel to single track mud and last weekend a 20 foot wide 6" deep puddle and several fallen trees. Can include the Milford loop if you add a couple of road miles as well.

    Honestly, I don't know why this place got such few stars? The four stars that I've assigned as well…read moredeserved. I visited on a weekday and perhaps that made all the difference in the world. My experience form beginning to end was fantastic. I think one thing that seems to bother most people is the BBQ lunch. The BBQ lunch was apart of my package and when I arrived they were just loading the buns to be taken out on the river. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but you'll understand in a minute. When I arrived, there were already several eager adventurous folks checking in, buying waterproof items for sale, collecting their water rafts and some even already on the water. I checked in with my Groupon and as directed, I left my keys - collected my Kayak and proceeded to the bus. Please note, the rule is, everyone must wear a mask until you're actually on the water; great rule as it gets crowded in the shop as well as on the bus. It keeps everyone safe. I chose the kayak experience which was awesome but the real fun is in a tube. After my journey down the river, I immediately purchase another Groupon just so that I could come back and have a tubing experience. So, back to the BBQ lunch. By the time I paddles my way down (a few signs for the waters edge for direction) to the BBQ shack on the water, they were still setting up. I guess I paddle too fast. I decided to keep moseying down the river as I had already packed a lunch just in case after reading the reviews about the BBQ shack not being up and running. Oh well, next time I'll enjoy a burger. Again, this is the perfect mid week escape. The ride outside of NY is quick and there's plenty of parking. Although it says Delaware tubing it's actually located in New Jersey; well at least the border between the two. I would recommend going early and taking as much time as you like in a tube with family and friends. I would also recommend bringing children as they will develop a lifelong love of being on the water. I'm a big fan now and I can't wait to return in a few weeks. P.S. I was told by my bus driver, they offer a fall foliage experience where they only allow kayaks on the river.

    We stayed at split rock resort and this was right nearby. I wish it was included in the resort…read morefees, as it definitely was advertised as one of their "things to do". However, at $20/pp for the canoes or kayaks, it was fine. It's paid per hour and up front. They do take card. You're given an hour, but they seem pretty loose about this. From our day out, though, you really won't spend much more than an hour out on the lake exploring unless you want to just stop and take in the views. We did that and still were just about an hour - after also going around the whole lake. Unfortunately, my seat in the kayak was broken and wouldn't sit up, so my husband had to use his legs to support my back rest the entire time. This made things rather uncomfortable, but that really wasn't their fault for not knowing. I even forgot to mention the broken seat when I got out since I was just kind of happy to get out of there. It's a beautiful lake, gorgeous housing lined on all sides. I really would recommend looking for a place with jet skis since we did see a lot of people using those and it looked like w lot of fun... but if you haven't been kayaking before or just want to explore the lake leisurely, this is definitely a good time.

    A little tough to find at first, but after we figured it out we went and opted for a canoe this day…read moreon the lake. Prices are reasonable at $15 per person for an hour. The lake is big so we were not able to make it around the entire lake in that amount of time. Nice friendly helpful staff.

    Rented a medium-sized pontoon for half a day. The staff was plentiful, courteous and professional…read more The boats were all in amazing shape. Ours looked brand new despite the hours logged. The outboard was only a 50 however, but with only 2 adults and 2 children on board it wasn't terribly underpowered. Pricing was competitive for the area. The marina was a bit tight but nothing I haven't seen before. There is very little traffic around their cove which makes for a quick departure and docking. I like that it's at the end of the lake which gives you an opportunity to do a full stretch without a lot of backtracking. The store was fully stocked with bait and tackle. This was one of the best boat rental experiences I've had in years and I would absolutely use them again.

    I've used them a couple times and really can't imagine using a different boat rental company. They…read moreseem to have the best prices. I like to go for the fishing boat with motor because I don't want to paddle or pay too much but there are different options depending on what your doing. I would have preferred to make a reservation but the rentals are on first come, first serve basis so make sure you get there early. I wasn't sure how long I wanted the boat for so they let me book 2 hours and then settle up when I got back. I was a little nervous because the boat didn't tell me how deep the water was beneath me, but we didn't get stuck so it's all good. I was happy I brought my radio. I did get lost a little but was able to pull up a map on my phone. They have a lot of fishing equipment for you to buy as well. I had to take a "safety course" to be able to rent the boat but it didn't take long and wasn't a big deal. They didn't even give me a hard time about crashing into the wall on my way out. The steering took a little to get used to, especially in reverse. The first time I was here, I dropped the anchor in the water but it wasn't tied to the boat so it just dropped to the bottom.
