Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River
The Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River is a federally designated area of the Delaware River protected under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The designation also includes sections of Paunnacussing Creek, Tohickon Creek, Tinicum Creek, Rapp Creek, and Beaver Creek. In total, the protection covers 67.3 miles (108.3 km) miles of waterways. Unlike the Upper Delaware and Middle Delaware scenic rivers, the Lower Delaware is not an official unit of the National Park System. The area is held by a patchwork of state, local, and private landowners, and is overseen cooperatively by the National Park Service and a number of partners including the Delaware River Greenway Partnership. Federal law protects National Wild and Scenic Rivers from significant development, preserving their free-flowing state. The designated river segments fall within Northampton County and Bucks County in Pennsylvania and Warren County, Hunterdon County, and Mercer County in New Jersey.
