Cramer Hill is located along the unique Delaware River backchannel. Currently, there is no public access to the Cramer Hill waterfront; the stunning views across the still backchannel waters, over the trees of Petty's Island and the Delaware River to the skyline of Philadelphia, are hidden by landfill, industrial uses, and fences. A plan was created that focused on family recreation activities on the banks, invite small businesses and services to prosper, and sustain a vital riverfront ecosystem to support a variety of bird, animal, and plant species. The plan marks a growing realization of the untapped potential of the Cramer Hill waterfront, and was developed in a coordinated effort with the creation of a neighborhood plan.
