State Parks
Bulls Island Recreation Area is an 24 acre park located at the southern end of Kingwood Township and the northern end of Delaware Township.  The park is situated along the Delaware River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal.  The park offers camping, fishing and a natural area.

A Biking/Hiking Trail owned and maintained by the NJDEP is located between Route 29 and the Delaware River for the entire length of Kingwood's border, extending north to Milford and south to Trenton.  The trail was made from a former railroad right-of-way.  Parking to access to the Biking/Hiking trail is available at Bulls Island Recreation Area, north of Byram at the old bridge piers across from Point Pleasant, PA, and south of Frenchtown, at the Kingwood Access.

The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's Kingwood Access provides a boat launch on the Delaware River, located 1 mile below Frenchtown on Route 29.  The parking area is convenient to using the boat ramp or accessing the Biking/Hiking Trail.  Read more about Delaware River Boat Access Sites.
