About The Delaware River Greenway Partnership
Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 that works to bring individuals, communities, businesses, recreational users and all levels of government together to promote and protect a continuous corridor of natural and cultural resources along the Delaware River and its tributaries. In 2000, DRGP played a leading role in the successful campaign to include the Lower Delaware River in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Also, DRGP is the host organization for the federally designated Delaware River Scenic Byway.
In reaching our mission, our strategic plan focuses our activities in three areas:
- River corridor protection
- Land and water trail development
- Stewardship and community involvement

Public Input Aids Sign Design Plan
The Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) held public meetings in three river communities last summer to introduce preliminary concepts for a comprehensive sign system for the Delaware River Water Trail. The signs will be part of a system to provide information on access to the river, location of hazards and safety information, nearby points of interest, and significant recreational, natural, and cultural resources of the river area.
Public meetings were held throughout the Delaware Valley project area, including Narrowsburg, NY, Bushkill PA and Frenchtown, NJ. Input from the public is being incorporated into the sign design plan.
