Hi Wayman -- really enjoy your video trip reports; this looked like a great trip. I have done Eshback to Smithfield a few times. I rented a canoe through Adventure Sports, so they also provided shuttle services. This winter I bought my first canoe and would like to do the Milford to Kittatiny trip. My question to you is this: what did you do for shuttle logistics?

@dannakano1 I had a buddy follow me down and I left my truck at Kittatiny, I signed in at the ranger station to let them know when I would be back and that the truck would be there. Then my buddy dropped me off at Milford. Lots of wind at Milford! LOL I have other videos up from my upper Delaware trip on my channel outsideal . Best of luck I know the trip will be fun for you!

This is a great adventure ! I'm new in NJ. Could You tell me what are the rules of planning trip like this here? Do You have to report it somewhere. How about a camp fire, is it allowed ? Is Your canoe registered or not ?... Thnx !

[wayman29]

@Bazanteria- From Milford Pa to Rt 80 is a national Park so they have places to camp. just bring the proper supplies and have someone pick you up at any of the many boat launches along the way, or you can park for about 7 dollars a day. You can camp at the may camp sites along the way. And they do let you build small fires. I just go back from an upper Delaware trip where there were no campsites so I had to rough it! the video is here: Upper Delaware River Trip 1:1 from my channel outsideal
