Washington Crossing State Park Description
Washington had to cross the Delaware, which he did at Christmas 1776 in icy cold conditions, north-west of Trenton in what is now Washington Crossing State Park - a name that recalls the famous painting "Washington Crosses the Delaware", an icon of American art.

After crossing the rough winter river at night, General George Washington and the Continental Army landed at Johnson's Ferry, at the site now known as Washington Crossing State Park. At 4 am, they began their march to Trenton where they defeated the Hessian troops in an unexpected attack. The park is also well known for its trails and wildlife habitat.
