Hunterdon/Bucks county, Scudders Falls Recreation Area section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     0.25 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The nature scenery of Hunterdon/Bucks County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. The Scudders Falls Recreation Area section of Delaware River is 0.25 miles long and it is classified as a class II+ section by American Whitewater. This stretch is very short so no need to bring snacks. Getting your paddling muscles
    activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Trenton-Ewing, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Delaware River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Scudders Falls
Recreation Area section is the only one. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
