You don't need to be an experienced paddler to enjoy every route we offer.
Our team can help you compare trip distances and boat options based on your comfort level and the amount of time you want to spend paddling.
River conditions vary, so choosing an appropriate trip and following safety guidance are important for every paddler.
Convenient Trip Planning
We provide rental equipment, orientation, and shuttle transportation as part of your trip.
That means less time coordinating logistics and more time enjoying your adventure.
Plan Your Delaware River Day Trip
Before heading out on the river, a little preparation can help make your adventure more comfortable.
We recommend bringing drinking water, snacks, sun protection, secure footwear that can get wet, weather-appropriate clothing, and a waterproof way to protect important belongings.
Remember to allow time for check-in, orientation, shuttle transportation, and your actual paddling route.
Our season typically runs from late April through late October, depending on river and weather conditions. Advance reservations are highly recommended, especially for weekends.
