Really cool historical bridge and area in general! This is part of the Upper Delaware National Scenic River National Park Site. There are plenty of plaques with history and historical buildings around here. Maps are available around the paring areas alongside port-a-potties. There is plenty of parking. You can drive and walk over the bridge. Pretty views in every direction!
The engineer who designed this also designed so many other cool and important bridges in American history.

Enjoy the beautiful Upper Delaware Recreation while observing superior engineering. John Roebling, the civil engineer who designed the famous Brooklyn Bridge designed this Roebling Bridge the was part of the former aqueduct and canal where boats actually crossed the river from above. So many things to do along the way and when you get here. Take photos, walk, fish, water sports or just being a lunch and treat yourself to the beautiful scenery!

Beautiful views, neat history, easy access- it’s worth the visit.
The Roebling aqueduct has a lot of history. There are plenty of informational signs. Easy parking. Simple walk across the bridge and fun place to take pictures. We saw 2 bald eagles and a number of other types of birds as well. There were a couple of other folks taking pictures but not crowded at all.
Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct, also known as the Roebling Bridge, is the oldest existing wire suspension bridge in the United States. It runs 535 feet (163 meters) over the Delaware River, from Minisink Ford, New York, to Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania. Opened in 1849 as an aqueduct connecting two parts of the Delaware & Hudson Canal (D&H), it has since been converted to carry automotive traffic and pedestrians.

This was a fun novelty to visit. There's a 24/7 informational center on the Jersey side. You can safely walk across it and there is a (relatively) easy acess to the river on the southeast (Pennsylvania) and northwest (Jersey) side, plus parking.
★★★★★
Really neat historic bridge, has a small VC on one side. Can walk both sides. Several displays talk about mining, the canal, boat life, and the river.
