Delaware Canal

A small stretch of the Delaware River: great for canoeing.

This past week, my wife and I were able to ride the fourteen mile loop from New Hope to Washington's Crossing across to New Jersey back to Lambertville and the bridge to New Hope. The paths on both sides of the Delaware River and canals is relative flat and easily navigated. Be sure to bring a bottle of water. The ride is pleasant, but it is without amenities.

Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve

Reviewed By Terilynn63

My husband and I visited for the first time on November 1st. It was one day after a heavy rain and wind storm. Lots of leaves and some small debris from the trees were littering the walking paths. It was easy to see, though, this was not the norm. It is a well maintained area with lots of natural beauty. The main pathways are wide and an easy walk. This time of year a lot of trees had already lost their leaves, but still some vibrant, beautiful color remained. We met a couple of volunteers in the visitor center and they were very friendly, knowledgeable and eager to talk about the Preserve and answer our questions. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the Spring.

New Hope-Lambertville Toll Supported Bridge

Reviewed By Unresolved_Issue - Edison, United States

Have walked across this bridge on numerous visits to Lambertville-New Hope. Great way to cross the river from Lambertville to New Hope or vice versa. If you plan on visiting both towns, no need to drive across - just park in one town and walk across the bridge to the other town. The walk across the river is scenic with great views of the Delaware River. And great for car watching too.

This gem is tucked away near the historic railway station off Bridge Street in New Hope. There are three quite large rooms where kids can explore and learn about the bones of the body, transmission of light, air pressure, shadows, downhill (toy) racers, climbing, finding fossils in the sand, and operate a rain cloud and play with boats in flowing water. They can operate a (stationary) ambulance, take blood pressure, operate a (pretend) ice cream stand, go grocery shopping and deliver the mail. I'm sure I've forgotten a few things... Recommended, although we went when there were about 10 children + parents and grandparents and could easily go from activity to activity as we pleased. Maximum occupancy is 100 people - that will require more time and patience.
