Smithfield Beach National Recreation Area

It was very good. However there are no outdoor grill. You Will have to carry one on your own. Apart from that nice experience. We had great time.

No alcohol, no ground fire. We we're going there to do barbecue and grill. But there is NO equipment for that. So if you want to cook meat there make sure you bring own grill. The views are great here. Beach is small and you are not permitted to swim when lifeguard not on duty. To many restrictions, kinda upset.

I took a canoe from Smithfield Beach. There is a launch area the local river trip companies use. A little annoying that i had to pay $10 to park here mid-week when there were around 5 cars in the lot. National Park Service should have reduced weekday rates. Was also a little annoying to have to find and fill out a tiny envelope for self-pay. There appeared to be a small beach area where you can go swimming. Overall i wouldn't find this place worth the trip unless you are using it to launch a canoe from.

Great access to the Delaware River and picnic grounds. Day use fee but worth it. If you don't like crowds visit off season and avoid warm weather holidays.

Great place to launch a tube, kayak, small boat. Good lounge around place.
