Soaring Eagle Campground

Beginners Welcome

 
River Women is more than a day on the water—it’s a gathering rooted in the local river community.

River Women takes place along the Delaware River, where we spend the day fishing, paddling in canoes, sharing meals, and ending the evening gathered at camp. The experience is shaped by the people and places that make this stretch of river special—from the campground that hosts us to the farms and small producers who help nourish the day.

Our home base for the experience is Soaring Eagle Campground, a beautiful riverside campsite set directly along the Delaware. With open river access, a wood-fired sauna, and places to gather along the water, it provides the perfect setting for a day centered around the river. Soaring Eagle will also provide our canoe rentals and the shuttle that brings us upriver to begin the day’s float.

The morning begins at camp with coffee and tea, line-tying, and light fishing instruction before we head upriver by shuttle. From there, we travel back down the Delaware by canoe—fishing, paddling, and moving downriver together. Each canoe is free to make its way at its own pace, leaving space to cast a line, take in the scenery, and stop along the banks to enjoy the lunches packed for the day.

By late afternoon we return to camp, where dinner will be served before gathering around the fire together in the evening.

Food for the experience is thoughtfully sourced from the surrounding region—local meats, vegetables, dairy, breads, jams, mushrooms, and seasonal ingredients from nearby farms and small producers. The intention is to celebrate the place we’re in, bringing the flavors of the region to the table while supporting the local community that helps make experiences like this possible.

A grounded, welcoming river gathering—equal parts learning, laughter, and quiet time outdoors.
