Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. There are some good hotels near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The starting location is a reasonable
drive from Trenton-Ewing, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. There are no other sections to paddle along Delaware River than the Scudders Falls Recreation Area section.
This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.
