Easy ride going with the tide, keep an eye out for boats

The first part of this run is a relaxing paddle on slow-moving water with only some small riffles to navigate, but the second half is where the excitement starts as the river travels down a steep gorge. After about 5.5 miles have passed, portaging on the right around multiple falls will be required. Additional falls, drops, and dams continue downstream, some of which may or may not be runnable depending on water levels so scouting beforehand is crucial. There are also strainers in the last mile to watch out for. The entire 11-mile run should only be attempted by expert paddlers but beginner paddlers can take out at Rte. 519 to avoid the challenging part of the river.

Raymondskill Creek is for expert paddlers only. It's a challenging course that offers waterfalls, slides, and heavy whitewater. One noteworthy section is called, "Flirting With Disaster" which is marked as a portage on this route due to its large falls and low water level at the bottom. Be sure to study this entire course in more detail and scope out each questionable section before attempting. Check water levels before traveling to the creek as it can vary depending on season. Be attentive to restricted parking areas at both take-out and put-in locations. Both locations also require a short carry (one quarter mile and another half mile) along poorly defined routes and may require some self-navigation or maneuvering to find a put-in and take-out spot that suits. This water route ends just before Raymondskill Falls.

Dense groves of Atlantic white cedars line the bank of of this river and can give the surreal feeling that you are at a different world. You will find some shady places to stop for lunch at the end of Martha Pond. From here the river narrows and accelerates slightly and a few blow downs require careful maneuvering.

The run down Wickecheoke Creek combines both relaxing flatwater as well as thrilling whitewater to provide paddlers with a scenic and enjoyable paddling experience. The first few miles of flatwater serve as a good warmup for the demanding waters ahead. Multiple small falls, drops, logjams, and continuous rapids are present along this stretch of water so pulling off the river and either portaging around or scouting the obstacles is required. Running the river during high water can prove especially difficult and dangerous so be cautious and check current water conditions before setting out.

This is an attractive run through marsh and forests into Coursey Pond. Later the scenery is dominated by forests until the end where the marsh takes over again. The put-in is at the end of Killen Pond but including a trip around Killen Pond will be worth your additional time and effort. The beauty of the pond and the scenery along this stretch of river are spectacular. There are two spillways on this route at Killen Pond and at Coursey Pond that must be avoided.

This tributary of the Delaware River is a mostly tidal creek that provides some nice paddling in a remote rural area. This trip leaves from the launching area in the community of Quinton and heads east to the turnaround point at the head of tide at Alloway Lake Dam. The trip is a great option in the fall when the colors are impressive but the water can get cold so come prepared with a spray skirt. With the creek being a tidal tributary, the current can get strong at times.

Kayak exploring all over the lake. There is a boat ramp and dock. Beautiful Lake.

Flowing through mainly pastoral country with fields and wooded hills, this section of the Delaware River runs from Riegelsville south to Yardley. There are historical features along the way, including George Washington's historic crossing of the Delaware and the canal. Near the beginning are the gorgeous Nockamixon Cliffs ridding 300 fee from the river. There are Class I and II rapids and also three wing dams along the route. Just past New Hope, Pennsylvania are the Class II Wells Falls, formed partially by a wing dam, with the clearest line down being on the left side of the chute.
