Trip Planning - Tidal Delaware Tri Bridge Urban Water Front Tour
Roundtrip: When paddling with the tidal current at approximately 2.5 miles per hour, this 10-mile trip should take about 4-5 hours. To travel with the tide the entire way, kayakers should put in the river when the tide is outgoing with about 3 hours until low tide. Kayakers should reach the Ben Franklin Bridge when the tide is changing and head back to Pennsauken with the incoming tide.
One way: When paddling with the tidal current at approximately 2.5 miles per hour, this 12-mile trip should take about 5-6 hours. To travel with the tide the entire way from Pennsauken to National Park, kayakers should put in the river at the beginning of the outgoing and plan to reach National Park by low tide. To travel with the tide the entire way from National Park to Pennsauken Boat Ramp, kayakers should put in the river at the beginning of the incoming tide and plan to reach Pennsauken by high tide.
