Ben Franklin Bridge Hike

Standard Tap (map)

Selected By: Sidney G

The view from the Ben Franklin Bridge is unique. You can see up and down the Delaware and the cities of Philadelphia and Camden from high up.
Starting at the Standard Tap where parking for the day is usually no problem, we head through old city to the Bridge. We'll take one of the walkways across, then head onto Rutgers campus and a real cool historic area of Camden including the incredible Johnson Library building, the old RCA buildings, and so on. If the weather is great I want to head down past the Battleship NJ area to see what we can see.

We will walk for 2.5-3.5 hours at a moderate pace. Afterwards we will head to the Standard Tap for brunch on the outside terrace.

To carpool from Hill House (201 W Evergreen, 19118) meet at 10am. Each carpooler chips in $2 at the start. Make sure to email me if you want to carpool. Here's a Google Map link to Hill House.

Make sure to bring:
• Lots of water, I drink 1 liter per hour in warm weather
• Some food. An apple is great.
• Your camera

Two days before the event I usually email a weather update.

Have your event fee ready in dollar bills. No coins, dubloons, or 5's or 10"s. Thank you.

    I am joining the hike on the Camden side. Sid does not have a cell phone to exchange numbers, in case of emergency. Is someone going on the hike willing to exchange cell phone numbers with me?
