Canoeing and Kayaking on the Delaware River are popular and
enjoyable activities.
Dingmans Campground operates a convenient Canoe and Kayak livery
service, offering river trips through the Spring, Summer and Fall.
Our river trips are open to the public as well as our campers, with
free parking provided.
Several river trips are offered daily.

Groups are welcome!
Our Milford to Dingmans Campground paddling trip (8 miles in
3 to 4 hours) is ideal for the first time paddler, with calm water
most of the trip and four small rapids.
