Welcome to the Delaware Water Trail
Experience Southeastern Pennsylvania from a unique perspective – the water! The Tidal Delaware Water Trail is a path that has been checked and mapped – similar to a land trail, only on water. It guides motor boaters, paddlers and sailors to environmental, historical, and cultural experiences accessible by river.The Tidal Delaware Water Trail map identifies access points, safety considerations, points of interest and amenities along the 56-mile stretch of tidal river from Trenton/Morrisville to Marcus Hook.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania currently has about 20 water trails in the state and the Pennsylvania Environmental Council has been involved in the development of many of these trails. The Tidal Delaware Water Trail was developed in consultation with existing users and stakeholders.

Fact: American Indians used the rise and fall of tides to trap fish. The American Indians built low fences in the river. At high tide, the fish swam over the top of the fence. As the tide went out, the fish were trapped and easily speared. (Neshaminy State Park)
Fact: The Baxter Water Treatment Plant treats an average of 200 million gallons of water a day from the Delaware River, providing water to almost 60% of Philadelphia’s population, and parts of Lower Bucks County. (Philadelphia Water Department)
