Riegelsville NJ River Access

The Riegelsville Boat Ramp in Milford, NJ offers convenient access to the Delaware River with a concrete ramp and floating dock suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This no-fee access point is managed by the New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife and includes a porta-potty facility. Be prepared for crowds during summer weekends, as this is a popular launching point for various watercraft types.

The Delaware River at this location is a major waterway—the 8th order stream drains 13,521 square miles and maintains an average flow of over 30,000 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 3.1 feet per second. With a modest gradient of 2.7 feet per mile, the river here offers moderate paddling conditions suitable for both recreational kayakers and canoeists, though paddlers should be aware of the river's considerable volume and current. The ramp's proximity to the historic Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor makes this an excellent starting point for longer paddling adventures through scenic Pennsylvania and New Jersey landscapes.
