The Delaware River is a great place to enjoy a variety of recreational activities such as rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. However, it is important to not only have fun but also stay safe while you are out on the water. River obstacles, deceptively fast currents, steep drop-offs, and year-round cold-water temperatures are just a few things that can catch unprepared river users by surprise. We strongly recommend anyone interested in going on or in the river to watch this safety video beforehand.
