Prallsville Mills
33 Risler Street. Walk the historic mill complex, enjoy the riverside/canal setting and check the Delaware River Mill Society calendar for exhibitions, concerts, tours, markets and special events.
Visiting Stockton
Stockton is small enough to explore on foot but rich enough for a full river-town weekend — historic mills, towpath riding, bridge walks, destination dining and two distinctive inns.
Top Stockton Experiences
D&R Canal Towpath
The towpath passes directly through town and makes Stockton a natural stop for bicyclists, runners and walkers traveling the Delaware River corridor.
Walk the Bridge to Pennsylvania
The Centre Bridge–Stockton Bridge connects Bridge Street with Centre Bridge, Pennsylvania. The pedestrian walkway offers Delaware River views; bicyclists should walk bikes across.
Explore the Village Core
Bridge Street, Main Street and Risler Street place food, shops, historic sites and the towpath within a compact area that works well for a car-light visit.
Historic Stockton School
19 South Main Street. The 1872 District No. 98 Schoolhouse is a National Register historic property and an important part of Stockton's education history.
Delaware River Loop Ride
Use the Stockton bridge to connect New Jersey's D&R Canal towpath with Pennsylvania's Delaware Canal towpath for longer cross-river cycling and walking loops.

Food, Shopping & Evening Stops
Stockton's compact center supports a surprisingly strong mix of dining and specialty retail. Use the dedicated NJTGO Food & Drink page for restaurants, cafés, bakery items, deli food and the brewery, and Business & Shopping for in-borough retail and services.
Nearby — But Outside Stockton Borough
Bull's Island Recreation Area and many businesses using a Stockton 08559 postal address are outside the borough. Lambertville, Frenchtown, Sergeantsville, Rosemont and other nearby destinations can easily be combined with a Stockton trip, but NJTGO keeps them separate for municipal accuracy.
Visitor Tips
Parking
Businesses and attractions use a mix of private lots and street/public parking. Do not use another business's private lot unless permitted.
Bike & Walk
The towpath and bridge make Stockton especially friendly to cyclists and walkers, but trail surfaces and bridge conditions can change with weather and maintenance.
Events
Prallsville Mills, Stockton Market, the inns and local businesses host changing events. Check current schedules before planning a visit around a specific program.
River Conditions
Flooding and high-water events can affect riverfront roads, trails and access. Review current conditions after major storms.
