Just a quickie for this one . . .
About 25 miles upstream from Philadelphia is the lower of the two bends of the Delaware River that form the shape distinguishing the Pennsylvania and New Jersey
border. On the PA side is the US Steel complex, while on the Jersey side the circa-1830s Delaware & Raritan Canal used to meet the river here. There's a state park
that follows its path now, a lush greenway hidden from the megalopolis on the other side of the thick brush.
I-295 also passes through here on its way north toward
Trenton, where the northbound 295 somehow becomes 95 south. At the point of the curve, there is a "scenic
overlook"
with a pull-off parking area on both sides. But for a small sliver in which you can see the river, I don't know that it's scenic enough to hike
across an interstate . . . but it does have this nifty walkway!
