About this spot
This disused railroad trestle spans the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania just south of Portland. It attracts regular crowds of jumpers and offers three distinct launch points. The main deck provides a 40-foot drop, while a climb to a large support beam yields a 35-foot jump. The highest option—ascending to the top of the trestles—delivers a 65 to 70-foot plunge. An open section of the bridge works best for jumping, and spray-painted markings on the structure indicate optimal launch positions. Water depth ranges from 14 to 20 feet based on river conditions, potentially deeper after heavy rainfall. Bottom contact is rare and has not resulted in injuries when it has occurred. Access via Route 80 West to exit 4, then proceed left to Route 46 and immediately exit right toward Portland on Route 611. From the Pennsylvania side, follow Route 611 South toward the New Jersey toll, then take the final exit to North Delaware Road. Continue on this road as it becomes River Road for approximately one mile, passing the river and train tracks on your left. After passing a large industrial facility, look for parking along the street about a quarter-mile further. Two forest paths on the left side of the road lead downhill through the woods in under a quarter-mile to the bridge. A small beach area lies to the right, with the main bridge path heading left. Pine Tree Lane marks the point where you've traveled too far.
