Delaware River State Park–PA, Raritan Canal State Park–NJ
The 70-mile Delaware and Raritan Canal State Parks span both the PA and NJ sides of the Delaware River. From 1832 to 1931 the canals were used to transport coal, timber and other materials via barges pulled by mules. Today the river and towpaths are popular corridors for hiking and bicycling. The canal and park are part of the National Recreation Trail System.
Lumberville-Raven Rock Walking Bridge
The view of the Lumberville-Raven Rock Bridge, also known as the Lumberville Foot Bridge, is iconic to the Black Bass Hotel and is the inspiration for our store logo. The bridge connects Lumberville, PA to Bull's Island Recreation Area, NJ. This Roebling pedestrian bridge was built in 1947. It replaced the original covered bridge that was destroyed in the flood of 1903.
