Hendrick Island

The island is part of Solebury Township and a protected natural area within Delaware Canal State Park.

Hendrick Island is located at the beginning of a turn in the Delaware River north of New Hope, Pennsylvania.

The shoreline is generally rocky, especially along the eastern coast and northern tip, and populated by several species of fish and water snakes.

Canoeists and kayakers have the option of launching from a small parking lot maintained by the Pennsylvania State Park Service adjacent to the north point of the island or from Bull's Island recreational area roughly one mile (1.6 km) upstream on the New Jersey shore of the river.

The shoreline of the island constantly changes with the level of the river, so there is no one consistent best spot for landings, but the northern part of the western coast is generally the most favorable area.

It stayed in the family for three decades, and supposedly his son and daughter-in-law lived with their child in a house on the island some time during this period.

No confirmed traces of the Hendrick household remain, though there are what appear to be the foundations of a few destroyed buildings on the southern half of the island.
