The river reverses its flow direction four times daily. • Kayakers on the tidal Delaware should be experienced. Open canoes without flotation are not recommended. • Do not boat alone. Be sure to be visible to other boaters, and be aware of what is around you (including behind you). • Look out for floating debris, especially after heavy rain. • Much of the river is urbanized with ports and industry. River walls and piers may present obstacles. 94 Philadelphia sports complex • Be prepared for adverse weather such as wind, rain and cold. • Homeland security is an issue around bridges, ports, pipelines and other facilities. Keep clear of security risk areas, and be prepared to communicate with Coast Guard, marine police and other security personnel. 99 Battleship USS New Jersey Museum PFBC, www.fishandboat.com DCNR, www.dcnr.state.pa.us DEP, www.depweb.state.pa.us PA Environmental Council, www.pecpa.org Tidal Delaware River Water Trail- www.tidaltrail.org StEWArdSHIP 99.3 Walt Whitman House, once owned by the famed poet, is now a National Historic Landmark and a museum to Whitman’s life, Help care for the land, water and cultural resources along the Tidal Delaware River 856-964-5383.
