The Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic River Segment, the Lower Delaware River Management Area, and our partnering Wild & Scenic Rivers, the Upper Delaware & the Delaware Water Gap. In 1997, the Delaware River Greenway Partnership and the National Park Service completed the Lower Delaware River Management Plan. Two years later, we completed the Lower Delaware National Wild & Scenic River Study Report. The documents contain an inventory of the natural, cultural, historical, recreational and economic resources within the Lower Delaware River corridor (Delaware River Water Gap to Trenton) as well as long-term river management strategies. Both efforts were a pre-cursor to obtaining an important federal designation. In fact, after many years of hard work, in 2000 Congress designated the section from the Delaware Water Gap to Trenton as a Wild & Scenic River! The geographic regions representing the Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic Corridor and the reaches of our management plan are noted in the map below. We have a strong partnership with our neighboring northern and southern organizations that represent the Upper Delaware and Delaware River Water Gap Wild and Scenic Rivers and Delaware River Estuary (see map below). In fact, we are working on a formal Delaware River Trail from Hancock, NY to the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge (see projects section of our website)! Return to Home Page
