Edge of the Woods Outfitters
River trips and tubing
About
Edge of the Woods rents canoes, kayaks, rafts and tubes for self-guided trips on the Delaware River through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The base is in downtown Delaware Water Gap, just off I-80.
The 6-mile trip from Smithfield Beach to Kittatinny Point is its most popular, takes about 3 hours and ends at the Water Gap. The 4-mile raft-only trip from Kittatinny Point to Portland has Class 1 and 2 rapids. A 10-mile trip joins the two.
When to go
The site says tubing runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The home page says the outfitter is closed for the winter after the 2026 season.
Good to know
Free parking at the base for the 6-mile trip. Trips leave every half hour from 10 am to 2 pm.
Children must be at least 3 years old.
Tubing averages about 3 hours, but headwinds and low water can stretch it past 4.
The outfitter says its bike rental program is suspended indefinitely.
