    Very nice place to take a walk, bike ride, or run on a dirt path along the Delaware River. The…read morepath is kept clean & free of debris. Very easy to park as there are multiple parking lots along the trail. The trail offers glimpses of the river & has a lot of beautiful wildflowers & different kinds of tree's along the trail. Very few port-a-johns & the one's we encountered were not clean. Other than that, it's an enjoyable trail.

    If it seems like you've read this one before it's because maybe you have. On Yelp my best guess is…read morethat there's three or maybe even four different listings for Delaware Canal State Park. Why so many you might ask? Well it's because of the park's sheer size. DCSP is a sixty mile long towpath that runs from Easton down to Bristol. That's obviously a hell of a distance and there are tons of access points along the way which is why there are so many listings. If you're using the towpath in New Hope that's one listing and if you're using it in Easton that's a different listing due to the large amount of mileage in between. What makes this park so special? DCSP is the only remaining towpath that is original in it's appearance, size and distance to when it was constructed in the 18th century. The towpath runs parallel (but not always visible) to the Delaware River. It's also one of the few parks if not the only park in the commonwealth's system that runs by or thru several other state parks. The ending terminus in Bristol is somewhat close to Neshaminy, it runs right thru Washington Crossing while being fairly close to Ralph Stover and Lake Nockamixon. This also says nothing about the two or three county parks which DCSP runs by. As if this weren't enough, right across the Delaware is the even longer D&R Canal Trail which parallels the river on the NJ side. There are a few bridges were you can cross from one side to the other but they're spread out. The main activities are hiking and biking but there are obviously endless amounts of possibilities for fishing, boating and canoeing. No hunting except for limited archery deer hunting. Too many houses either way to close to the towpath or literally on the towpath for anyone to be getting their Ted Nugent on. We usually hit the trail primarily at the Durham Aqueduct parking area as that's super easy where 611 meets up with 212 or every so often we go down to the Washington Crossing area to dork it up 18th century style by visiting some of the surroundings in that area. Kudos big time to PA's Department of Conservation as they do a great job keeping a whole lot of trail looking really good. No matter where you choose to join up with the towpath there's no bad place and you'll understand why especially on weekends this thing gets so damn crowded. #No-Brainer Visit

As we arrive at the shore, the captain, Captain Tom, spotted us from afar and gave us a very welcoming greeting. He took pictures for us in front of the ship and tells us everything we need to know about the trip. The crew was amazing and very attentive. The weather was a little chilly today so Patrick, the superstar crew member, very kindly offered his spare hoodies to my friends who are freezing. We didn't catch any strip bass today, but we did manage to catch many blue fish. They are huge and really quite delicious. Ah yes! So once you have a fish on hook, the crew will help you pull it out of the water, and at the end fillet them for you. The fishing experience was really easy and relaxing because the crew is there to help with untangling the strings or helping us putting on baits. The bathroom was extremely clean and the indoor space is dry and comfortable. I like the fact that they have a separate restroom for the ladies, it is very considerate. This is my 3rd time fishing with the Atlantic Star and I'll definitely come back with more friends. Tips: - don't forget to tip the crew members well when you exit the ship, they worked really hard! - they have everything you need on board, just walk in and be prepared to catch some fish! - good for family with kids too

    The Pequest River is a 36 mile tributary of the Delaware River in northwestern NJ, it's name…read moremeaning comes from the Native American term for "Open Land". The Pequest Trout Hatchery owns over 4000 acres on which they raise trout. Founded and established in 1982 the Hatchery is presently responsible for the stocking of over 600,000 brook, brown, and rainbow trout annually. The Pequest River Trout Conservation fishing areas and trails are open daily, dawn till dusk and can be fished as long as all NJ State fish and game regulations are met. And you will definitely need a valid fishing license as well as a valid trout stamp which help funds the stocking program. The Pequest Trout Hatchery and Interpretive Center is open Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. This is an excellent tour especially anyone who is interested in seeing how trout are raised, housed, and released into NJ freshwater streams and rivers. Get your kid out of the house and take them Fishing, you'll both be glad that you did.

    Pequest Trout Hatchery is a state owned and operated trout hatchery. It began i'ts operation in…read more1981 and produces 700.000 trout annually on 5,000 acres of WMA land. The hatchery tour is self-guided which is clearly marked by a green trout on the sidewalk that takes you to two different hatchery areas. The nursery building and the egg room. There are pictures on the windows which describe the operation from fertilizing the egg to final release of the trout into streams and rivers. You are not permitted in the rooms themselves. Brown, rainbow, etc. trout are all raised here. The best time to visit is between mid-September to early October but the facility is open year round. The second sidewalk trail leads to the Observation Platform. The platform gives you an overlook of the raceway (pools of trout) held year around for size development. If you are an avid fisherman, biologist or just interested in science this is a worthwhile experience with much to learn. The visitor's center has loads of taxidermy and I especially liked the black bear. Dioramas, a small pond with trout, and information boards add to your knowledge of the natural world. Aside from the hatchery there are a number of other activities available like hiking, hunting, bird watching and fishing in nearby Pequest river. The red trail has interpretive signs and leads you to the yellow and blue trails. Special events include their Open House (April 2/3) which is free, fly casting for beginners, family fishing basics and hunter's education which require a two week pre-registration. There are a lot of outdoor activities offered at Pequest.
