1. Roebling Aqueduct Suspension Bridge
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Teddyballgame999 - Ringoes, New Jersey
The bridge does not do justice for what this project meant. At the time there were large rafts (made up of trees that were cut down) measuring 50x150 that came down the river heading for Philadelphia. The coal carrying barges were coming down the canal and attempting to cross the Delaware. In many cases there were collisions and the barges were the losers. This aqueduct allowed the barges to cross over the west branch of the Delaware and continue on to Kingston for the trip down the Hudson.

The Delaware River is a national "Scenic and Recreational River" with spectacular wildlife and pristine beauty. Experience the great outdoors on the Delaware on a raft, canoe, kayak, or tube. As a beginner's river, this adventure is perfect for all ages.

Departure was a big mess. There is no food or coffee at the start point. It was Sunday on 4th of July weekend and there were tones of people. We got on the river 2.5h after our reservation time! The river is slow to very slow most of the time, so you will have to paddle most of the time. There is no white water or danger of flipping the raft, but you will get wet from splashes. There were so many rafts on the river. We saw 3 eagles which was very cool. We did have fun, because we had good company, but I would not recommend doing this on a holiday weekend because of the crowds. If you do: Get there early, so you can get to the river in more timely manner. Get all food and drinks you need for the whole day. Bring friends and have water-gun fight with them. Lots of other people were diking beer. Not sure if it is allowed or not. Lastly, some people had speakers and were playing music. I wish we had thought of it.

We enjoyed touring the grounds and house that Zane Grey wrote some of his books in. The attendee at the museum offers nice stories about his life that we had not read in any travel magazine. You can purchase a few of his books at the museum. The grounds are well kept and it is a nice view of the Delaware River as well.

Small park with a few signs telling you about this minor battle between Torries, Indians and Americans. More of a hiking trail than anything else. The day we were there, we were the only one in park. Very secluded on a weekday.

The slopes were well managed and patrolled, staff was very friendly and the lifts were in good condition. We were lucky and had decent snow for two days but it was nice even afterwards. Tubing was fun but can get a little busy. There is a nice restaurant and bar at the top of the hill for when you want to take a little break.

Every year we go rafting on Delaware river with friends. This time we took trip from Barryville base to Eddy's Pond renting rafts from Kittatinny. We called night before to make reservations and arrived to the base around 9:20 am. Check-in was fast and efficient and very soon we got our papers ready to take rafts on the water. We had 4 adults and 2 children (9 and 10 yo) and we took 2 rafts for our group. At about 10 am we were already on the water. Our trip took about 6 hours with 3 stops for picnic and swimming. It was easy to spot the Eddy's Pond place by 2 big red balloons over the river. Stop is on the left side of the river. When we arrived bus was waiting and at no time it took us back to the base. We were planning also to do zip line but we very tired (zip line is better to plan before the river trip). It was very enjoyable activity for everybody. Going again soon!

My boyfriend and I did the zip-line that is attached to the grounds and had the best experience ever! The staff was wonderful and were really friendly. The entire experience lasted about 45 minutes and the actual zip-line was a good 2 minutes. The feeling of zipping through the air was amazing and the view around was really cool! You probably go around 30 to 40 mph depending on weight.
8. The Lodge at Woodloch Spa
Overall Ratings

This place is expensive, but worth every penny. The great food, the helpful and courteous staff, the peaceful and scenic surrounding, the spa and activities; everything was top notch.
There are several resorts in the area called Woodloch. This is the adult-only spa lodge that's all inclusive (except for alcohol).
While this wouldn't be my destination for "regular" weekend getaways, it's been simply amazing for that special occasion, and we will certainly come back.
Tip 1: the pre-purchased spa packages are worth it if you plan to use the spa.
Tip 2: if you are encouraged to go see the "Broadway" show in the main lodge, do yourself a favor and don't. It's just not that good.
