The Delaware River

New Jersey’s Other Shore

Imagine you're responsible for thousands of men's lives,
it's cold - the brutal Northeast winter had taken hold,
and you're about to attempt a journey across a icy riv-
er. This was the situation in 1776 General George Washington faced as crossed
the Delaware River the morning of December 26 and marched into Trenton. You
can relive this moment in history when you camp in the Delaware River Region
by visiting the exact site of Washington's crossing in Titusville. Once you've had
your fill of history, you can unwind at any of the region's breweries and wineries.
Shopping? Yes please! Charming towns like Princeton or big shopping meccas like
Marlton have shops to please any purchaser. This historic region is bursting with
arts, culture, adventure and more!
