Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River
Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River is part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. It is not a park unit.
The Delaware River, the largest free-flowing river in the eastern United States, runs past forests, farmlands and villages. It also links some of the most densely populated regions in America. In 2000, the National Wild and Scenic River System incorporated key segments of the lower Delaware River to form this unit of the National Park System.
About under an hour from Philadelphia and 1.5 hours from New York by car.

Distances are approximate. Wilderness Atlas publishes a center point and an acreage for each area rather than a boundary, so each area is treated here as a circle of the same size and the figure is the gap to that circle.
