Mammals

These are some mammals you are likely to see in and around the water.


River Otter

Otters are aquatic weasels. You may find them climbing around on banks, or splashing around in the water, especially around dusk.


Harbor Seal

Harbor seals are not uncommon in the winter, but kayaking is, so don't expect to encounter them when you are out for a paddle.


Muskrat

Muskrats are common across the state. While considerably bigger than plain old rats, they are nowhere near the size of beavers, which can get to 50 pounds. Muskrats have tails that are slightly flattened from side to side, unlike beavers which have broad flat tails. Both animals build conical houses in the water, but only beavers build dams.

The Delaware River (and Bay) are too big to fit into the county-based scheme of this website, so I gave it its own top-level page. These maps include the adjacent canals, which are good places in themselves to go, but often obstruct access to the river. Zoom in to separate the markers. The orange line is the approximate limit of the Delaware River drainage.
