Trip description
• NEW / Alternate PUT-IN •

You MUST bring a LIFE PRESERVER or you WILL get fined. Life preserver doesn't have to be worn, it can be attached to your tube/floataion device.

The last few trips consisted of about 50 people (plus a few dogs) floating down the Delaware River in inner tubes, rafts, canoes and floating lawn chairs. It's a slow leisurely float down stream with the crowd scattered in groups all along the river. People float from group to group. The bevies float downstream in their own 'BEER BARGE". We stop on the river bank for lunch then proceed to the take out point, which is an old bridge trestle. While we wait for the others to converge, ya can take the optional 30-40 plunge of off the trestle. You then have the option to go to the "Log Cabin" a local bar/restaurant for Pizzas & pitchers of beer.
