Bring your kayak or canoe right to the end of Park Street, load in using the paved ramp and then spend the afternoon paddling along the waterways of Crosswick Creek and the Trenton-Hamilton-Bordentown Marsh a freshwater tidal marsh on the Delaware River. Keep going and you’ll pass one of the locks of the Delaware-Raritan canal and explore the steep bluffs along the banks of Crosswicks Creek. Keep your eyes out for swooping swallows... and during the summer months, you’ll see oodles of wild rice and spatterdock (also known as a cow lily).

At the edges of the boat ramp are picnic benches where you can chill out before or after you hit the river. Before you decide to load in, check the tide charts because the waters can rise as much as 8 feet.
 

BRING THE FAMILY

Pack a picnic lunch and then load in your boat for a family day paddling down the river.

COME PREPARED

If you access the Bordentown Bluffs at Glenn Avenue, be considerate of the locals.  Don't park where you might block driveways or in front of mailboxes.

WHO KNEW

Joseph Bonaparte, one-time king of Spain who fled Europe following his brother's Napoleon's big oops moment at Waterloo, lived in the Bordentown area from 1817 to 1832.

JERSEY DEVIL SIGHTINGS

Come on.  Do you really see the J.D. trying to row, row, row his boat with those puny little wings he calls arms?  He won't be hanging out here.

LEAVE NO TRACE

if you enjoy an afternoon picnic, take your trash with you.  And it goes without saying, don't throw anything into the river.
