Do you know if it is possible to paddle the entire creek, Chalfont to Delaware River?
@singleedge13 жыл бұрын
Hi Anna, I have never paddled the entire route from Chalfont to the Delaware, but it is possible. Keystone Canoeing by Edward Gertler is an excellent source for paddling in Pennsylvania. REI is probably the best source, but amazon also carries. He states the section below route 213 isn't popular with paddlers because of development.

Start at the park by the shut-down bridge on Old York/Valley Road in Jamison. Google Map search for Big Brothers Big Sisters Jamison for the road. There is parking right at the river. Finish at Tyler State Park. Google Map search Tyler State Boathouse Parking lot. Local recommendation that you check the NOAA river height predictions and run this section at least 5.5 feet. It gets shallow otherwise. Funny that I live on the Neshaminy and drive to South Jersey for the Batsto while you drive up to Newtown from South Jersey. Cheers!

Been a member of south jersey outdoor club since 1995 ? Best thing going in South Jersey. Not as active as I once was - gasoline as more than DOUBLED ! since I joined. No longer do the longer hikes, but I am fine with 5 miles are so. Interests change - disc golf, road and adventure bicycling, and travel. But I still am active with Ocean City hikes that are closer to Cape May, and I still participate in New Hampshire ski trips. Truth is, I'll always be a member. No club offers as much activities with a nicer group of people.
