Battle Run Recreation Area

Was looking for a nice place to take myself and dog for a swim and this place doesn't allow pets. Such a shame since it is a good place for them to get in and out and not a lot of choices especially if you have someone with you who has a sprained ankle and can't walk down or up. Cialis Properien. Then what do I do? I will head over to cureamerica.com. The word vertigo is derived from Latin which means whirling movement. So it is a bit relieving that you are relaxed, such worries keep on haunting you in the subconscious mind.

Bull’s Island is part of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park. It is bounded by the Delaware River to the east and the canal to the west. The main intake for the canal is located at the northern section of Bull’s Island. This 80-acre forested island provides numerous opportunities, including a day use area, playground, boat launch, and a section of the 70-mile D & R Canal Trail. The 42-acre natural area includes two unique forest habitats, the sycamore river birch type and American elm-silver maple type. A pedestrian bridge from the island crosses to the Pennsylvania side of the river and provides open views up and downstream of the middle Delaware River.

PROJECT

Alexander Road in West Windsor Township and Princeton, Mercer County will be closed and detour for bridge replacement work beginning Wednesday, November 6, 2019 until April 20, 2020.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

NJDOT is scheduled to replace the Alexander Road Bridge over the D&R Canal concurrently with the adjacent Mercer County project. During construction, Alexander Road will be closed and traffic will be detoured. The detour will be set-up and maintained by the contractor for the Mercer County project. The Alexander Road Bridge Replacement Project is expected to be completed by April 20, 2020. The parking area located adjacent to the Alexander Road Bridge over the D&R Canal is within the active construction zone. This parking area will be closed to the public for the duration of construction to ensure public safety. The Towpath along the canal will be open during construction except during temporary closures for the safety of path users and construction personnel. However, pedestrians will not be able to access Alexander Road/Street due to safety considerations as these areas will be active construction zones.

NJDOT has a created project-specific email, so anyone with questions or comments about either of the two projects may submit an email to AlexanderRoad@dot.nj.gov.

Public Notification:
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Contractor is in process of demolition of the I-95/I-295 bridge structure over the D&R Canal and Tow Path. For safety reasons the tow path may be closed during specified times particularly when overhead work is being done. At that time, visitors will NOT be permitted access to the path between Bernards Drive and Upper Ferry Road in Ewing Township, Mercer County.

See below link for schedule of work.

Tubing Alert and Swimming Prohibited on the Delaware River
Please be advised that there are no river tubing businesses with a valid agreement with the State Park Service to launch from D & R Canal State Park.
Swimming in the Delaware River from D & R Canal State Park is always strictly prohibited.

Here are a few other nearby outdoor activities in our state parks to enjoy instead:

  • Walk or bike Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park
  • Canoe, kayak, or standup paddleboard at Worthington State Forest
  • Experience the past at Washington Crossing State Park


Swimming in the Delaware and Raritan Canal is a prohibited activity (N.J.A.C. 7:11-1.25). As per NJ State Park Service Rules and Regulations swimming may take place only in a designated swim area (N.J.A.C. 7:2-2.20). There are no designated swim areas in the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park and Bulls Island Recreation Area. Increased park police patrols have been instituted and violators may receive a summons.

Public Notification:
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Contractor is in process of demolition of the I-95/I-295 bridge structure over the D&R Canal and Tow Path. For safety reasons they will be closing the tow path during specified times.

Hydrilla was discovered in the Washington Crossing section of the Canal in July 2016. Hydrilla is an extremely aggressive invasive aquatic plant that spreads very rapidly and forms dense mats that can choke the flow of water through the canal. A lake management firm was hired in September, 2016 to survey, assess, and map the extent of hydrilla and other problem weeds in the high-priority segments of the Delaware & Raritan Canal. The survey report indicates that, for the 18.31 miles surveyed, submerged aquatic vegetation was collected at 96 percent of the sites, confirming the spatial extent and diversity of vegetation in the Canal. Hydrilla was observed at 56 percent of the survey sites.

On May 31, 2017, the Authority began a low-dose (<4 ppb) herbicide injection of Sonar Genesis for up to 120 days targeting the hydrilla and other nuisance aquatic vegetation. At these low rates, there are no restrictions on fish/fish consumption, human/animal water consumption or contact. There are some recommended water irrigation usage restrictions that have been posted along the tred areas of the canal. All Canal water customers have been engaged in the management planning process and continue to be updated on the status of treatment. The herbicide application is showing promising signs of effectively controlling the Hydrilla and other nuisance aquatic plants. The Authority and consulting firm are monitoring the status of plants and the herbicide concentrations at several points along the Canal. For monitoring and project information, please visit http://www.njwsa.org/hydrilla.html

UPDATE EMERALD ASH BORER TREE REMOVAL PROJECT: Be advised -Ash removal project currently shut down for timing restrictions.

The DEP conducted a tree assessment of the entire upper river campground as a result of a large sycamore falling in 2011. The assessment provided evidence of hazardous trees due to root decay from silt buildup related to repeated floods. Most of the trees in the area were found to have compromised root systems.

As a result, the DEP closed all camping areas to protect the public. For the upper river campground which consists of a 5 acre parcel with more than 200 large trees, a management plan is in development to mitigate the public safety hazards with the goal of eventually reopening the area to the public for passive recreation. The management plan will include the removal of trees in the upper river camping area and replanting of the area with smaller growing trees, shrubs and other native vegetation. To adequately refine this management plan and to ensure that impacts of the tree removal to the natural resources, including migratory and nesting birds and other wildlife, are minimized, a coordinated team representing the various technical programs within the DEP are providing input to ensure concerns are addressed and any necessary reviews are conducted and appropriate permits obtained. Plant material that will thrive in this type of environment and not create hazards for public access will be the focus of the plan, with attention to monitoring for, and controlling invasive species. The area will ultimately reopen for passive recreational use. The DEP will make a decision on the lower river camping section once the tree assessment is completed.

The Department will continue to update its website message on Bull’s Island Recreation Area as information becomes available. Thank you.

Delaware River Stream Gages and Stream Flow Information

The following is information on Delaware River flow and storage data, real-time stream gage data and high flood potential. This information is provided by the U.S. Geologic Survey and the National Office of the Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Water levels for the Delaware River are regularly updated on their websites. Check the stream flow levels to assist you in making your decision.

This U.S. Geological Survey Water Watch site provides detailed information on the streamflow of waterways in New Jersey. Refer to the Reigelsville gaging station for water level information for the Delaware River along the D & R Canal State Park.

A map of New Jersey will appear. Proceed to the western edge of New Jersey to locate the RIEGELSVILLE dot. This dot is approximately 1/3rd of the way down the western side of the state.

Once the dot is “clicked” additional information will appear at the bottom of the page identifying “low” (red) “below normal” (orange), “normal” (green), “above average” (blue) and “high” (black) water conditions.

The NOAA Advanced Hydrological Prediction Service for RIEGELSVILLE site provides a graph of the current and predicted water levels for the Delaware River in the vicinity of Frenchtown, Stockton and Lambertville, NJ. The real time water levels is sampled approximately every two hours.
