In June 2011, William Arias, 46, of Bound Brook, New Jersey was killed by a falling tree while sleeping in a tent in the upper river section of the Bull's Island campground. The state of New Jersey determined that silt buildup from repeated floods had weakened roots of trees in this area. The park system decided to permanently close campground area and return it to a natural state.

Just north of Stockton, NJ, Bull’s Island is a small but wonderful state park. It has plenty of free parking, a boat ramp and a really cool pedestrian bridge to Lumberville, PA.

Beautiful Roebling built foot bridge across the Delaware River. Modern playground, restrooms, and large picnic area. Also a boat launch and access to the canal path on Both sides of the river. Great place to park and walk across the bridge to dine at the Black Bass Inn. Picturesque views of the river.
