On a bit of a whim we decided to head over to Marsh Creek State Park for one afternoon after…read morechurch. It was a nice day, and the weather had been pretty crummy as of late, so we decided to go and rent stand-up paddle boards. When we arrived, the parking lot was quite full, so we had a bit of a hike to get to the front desk. There, we were able to get our rental pretty easily. We headed back to the car to drop some things off, then went back down to get our boards. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the experience was a lot of fun! One downside was that when we got back to land and ended our rental, we got charged more than I expected. My wife had been keeping track of time, but from the time that we left on our boards, but the time probably started counting from when I gave them my license. Hopefully next time I'll have my dry bag and not have to go back to the car.

They have no common courtesy, nor do they have any sense for rules of boating. They seem to roam in packs and have no consideration for other than themselves! The other issue is the location of handicapped parking.

There are however, handicap spaces marked for trucks or cars with trailers, which are located very close to the docking area, but none designated for just vehicles with handicapped placards.

Hopefully the owners, Waste Management, don't screw up a good thing by upping the prices, therefore running ppl away.

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.
