Pennsville Municipal

Located off Riviera Drive in Pennsville, New Jersey near the Delaware Memorial Bridge, this public access point offers a single concrete ramp to the Delaware River with limited parking. This is a no-fee facility, making it an accessible option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats launching into the lower Delaware River estuary.

The Delaware River at this location is a major waterway—a powerful tidal estuary with an average flow of over 30,000 cubic feet per second and strong currents (average velocity of 3.1 ft/sec). Paddlers should be prepared for tidal conditions, which significantly affect water levels and current direction in this section. The ramp's location near major bridges and shipping lanes means you'll share the water with commercial and recreational boat traffic. For paddlers seeking a more natural setting, the nearby Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge provides scenic wetland habitat just north of the launch site.

Note that facilities are minimal—the site offers no restrooms. Plan accordingly and check tide tables before launching, as tidal fluctuations in this estuary section can be substantial.
