TitusvilleJust a few miles north of I-95 at exit 1, is Washington Crossing State Park, where as the name implies, the Continental Army under the command of General George Washington landed after their historic crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776. It’s located at the intersection of Rts. 29 and 546, a.k.a. Washington Crossing-Pennington Rd. Very nice picturesque park with a visitor’s center and museum. You can park here and take a nice hike or bike ride up the tow path which follows the Delaware & Raritan Canal and the Delaware river all the way up to Bull’s Island, or even venture across the river (don’t worry there is a bridge there) into PA to another historical park on that side of the river. Otherwise dine and stock up on provisions at Faherty’s Restaurant & Liquor Store or lunch at Jimmy’s Drive-In just a little further north on Rt. 29. The Open Air Theater in the park hosts shows throughout the summer,and the Howell Living Farm is a great stop with the kids
