Scudders Falls Parking Area Weekend Closure

SCUDDERS FALLS NOW CLOSED ON WEEKENDS

June 26, 2024
BE ADVISED:

Effective immediately, the Scudders Falls section of D&R Canal State Park WILL BE CLOSED to park visitors on FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS.

The closure is a result of excessive usage that has led to violations of the State Park Service code, creating an unsafe environment for visitors and park staff. Weekend visitors who usually park at this location for canal towpath use or launching kayak and canoes are encouraged to use the other public designated locations at D&R Canal State Park, Bulls Island Recreation Area or nearby Washington Crossing State Park.

The Scudders Falls area will be open and accessible to park visitors MONDAY - THURSDAYS ONLY.
