About Delabar State Park

Delabar State Park is located on the west side of the Delaware River, north of New York City, New Jersey, in the state of Delaware. Delabars State Park is currently about 500 meters from the river.

The park is named after brothers Roy and Jack Delabar, who donated the land to the state in 1959 to turn it into a state park. Many of the park's 89 acres are wooded with rugged oaks, birches and hickory trees, and the forest is home to a variety of animal species including deer, elk, elk, coyote, fox, raccoon, squirrel, bird, owl and other wildlife. More than 50 bird species have been identified, making Delaware one of the largest bird sanctuaries in Delaware.

The park officially opened in 1960 as a state park with the help of a grant from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.

Tents, trailers and pitches are available in the park, as well as a variety of other camping facilities such as campsites, cabins, tents and trailers. Trailers with camping gear, camping chairs, picnic tables and other amenities are also available in the Delaware State Park parking lot.

Campers must obtain permission from park staff before setting up the camp, and groups of 25 or more require prior permission from the building manager.
