Yardley

Yardley is a boat ramp access point on the Delaware River in Morrisville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The Delaware River at this location is a major waterway with significant flow, averaging over 30,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for moderate to strong current conditions, as the river maintains an average velocity of 3.11 feet per second with a slope of 2.7 feet per mile. This is a tidal section of the Delaware River, so water levels and current strength will vary throughout the day based on tidal cycles.

The access point serves as a gateway to one of the Northeast's most important river systems. Given the river's classification as a major stream and its considerable drainage area of over 13,500 square miles, boaters should expect regular commercial and recreational traffic. The location is ideally suited for experienced paddlers and motorboaters comfortable with flowing water conditions. Kayakers and canoeists using this ramp should have solid paddling skills and understand tidal dynamics before launching, as the current and tidal flow can significantly impact trip planning and safety.
