The Delaware River is a popular recreational boating destination, offering waves up to 3 feet and some rocks exposed in rapids. The river current is approximately 2 mph, with waves between 4 to 5 feet and swift river currents at least 2.5 mph. Only larger rocks are exposed in rapids, with open and wide channels. The Friends of the Delaware Canal offers a must-have book to explore the Delaware by kayak, canoe, raft or tube, providing a turn-by-turn log of access, rapids, natural features, historic sites, and other recreation highlights.
Canoeing is the ultimate adventure on the Delaware, with the main stem of the river, 331 miles from Hancock, NY, to its mouth at Cape May Point, NJ, being the Whitewater Kayaking. Experience the Delaware River in a kayak for an awesome solo adventure. The 6 Mile River Trip – Smithfield beach to Kittatinny Point is our most popular trip. Self-guided canoe, kayak, or raft trips are available, with a paddle time of 2.5-3 hours.
The Delaware River Sojourn is a 7 or 8 day river trip starting in the Pocono Mountains and traveling to paddling and camping locations down the river. Semi-experienced should be able to do 3 mph with a total travel of 12-15 miles max. Rafts are much more suitable for this trip, as they can take up to 5 hours to complete. Paddling time for canoes and kayaks averages 2.5 miles per hour but varies greatly depending on river level, wind, current, and paddling skill.
