The upper river campground at Bull's Island Recreational Area will be permanently closed and restored to its natural state. A tree health assessment has found that this area is susceptible to silt buildup from repeated floods that weakened roots of trees in the area. This area will ultimately reopen for passive recreation only when deemed safe for public use. The down river campground will be closed for the 2012 camping season to allow for further tree risk assessment. Day use activities in the lower river section, including the boat ramp and picnic area will remain open. The Division is evaluating acquisition of land away from the river for a new campground to replace the sites lost by the permanent closure of the upper campground.
Effective 11-15-2010 the Scudders Falls parking area will be closed for needed NJDOT bridge repairs. The parking areas will be closed for the duration of the repairs. Plan alternate parking locations.
Effective 01-03-2011 the Lower Ferry Road bridge will be in the process of repair also by NJDOT.
