Fort Mott State Park (DelafortFerry)


category : Parks
Seasonal ferry. Operates April thru October, ferry crossing to three forts on the Delaware River. Call for times / dates of operation. Fort Mott was part of a coastal defense system designed for the Delaware River in the late 1800s. The fortifications seen today at Fort Mott were erected in 1896 in anticipation of the Spanish-American War. Today, visitors can wander through the old batteries following interpretive signs with detailed descriptions of the fort. Just beyond the fortifications is the Delaware River.
