Delaware River Recreation Map Set

The Delaware River Recreation Maps are a 10-section, waterproofed map set that covers the river's east and west branches prior to their confluence at Hancock, New York, the entire 200 mile, non-tidal reach of the river from Hancock to Trenton, New Jersey, and an additional 25 miles of the tidal river from Trenton to just south of the Betsy Ross Bridge (which connects Northeast Philadelphia, Pa. and Pennsauken, N.J.).

The maps depict river channel locations and depths, access areas, places of interest, stream miles and reference points, and provide a detailed Classification of streamflow characteristics in accordance with the International Canoe Federation's Scale of River Difficulty. While these maps show river depths and rapids' classifications, it is important to remember that actual river conditions may vary. DRBC encourages paddlers to be aware of current weather and river conditions and always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).

Schuylkill River Recreation Map Set

The 10-map set, published in 2003, includes portions of the Little Schuylkill River, West Branch Schuylkill River, and the main stem Schuylkill River from Port Clinton to the Delaware River in southeastern Pennsylvania.

These full-color, waterproof river maps identify public access areas, International Canoe Federation/American Whitewater Affiliation-designated streamflow characteristics, areas of caution, dams and pools, and recreation opportunities. While these maps show river depths and rapids' classifications, it is important to remember that actual river conditions may vary. DRBC encourages paddlers to be aware of current weather and river conditions and always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).

In addition to these maps, check out the Schuylkill River Water Trail, maintained by the Schuylkill River Heritage Area (SRHA)/Schuylkill River Greenway Association (SRGA).
