Dingmans Ferry

Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania was established in 1766 when Andreas Dingman built a flat boat to cross the Delaware River, which he operated as a ferry - hence, the origin of the town's name. Today, thousands of travelers cross the Delaware River into Pennsylvania each week on the Dingmans Ferry Bridge, one of the only privately owned and family-run bridges in America. Dingmans Ferry is home to lush State and Federal park land, as well as thriving woodland communities and beautiful lakefront housing.
