The Delaware River Greenway Partnership, (DRGP), is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 that works to bring individuals, communities, businesses, recreational users, and all levels of government together to promote and protect a continuous corridor of natural and cultural resources along the Delaware River and its tributaries. In 2000, DRGP played a leading role in the successful campaign to include the Lower Delaware River in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. After two years of cancellations, the Pedal Paddle returns! We look forward to the next event on Sunday, June 5, 2022. Water levels on the Delaware are constantly changing. The USGS provides online tools to monitor the flow of the Delaware River and its tributaries, helping us to safely enjoy our river. The 2021 Cleanup was another huge success with 18 cleanup locations spanning over 40 miles of the Delaware River from Holland Township (Hunterdon County) to Hamilton Township (Mercer County) along with Raubs Island in the Delaware.

Longtime Wild & Scenic Steering Committee Member Val Sigstedt writes, “It is wrong, arbitrary, sudden, and with no scientific reason, to lower the Tohickon’s purity designation.” Seventy-five years ago, the Delaware River was choked with sewage and industrial pollution.
