Mount Jack
Mount Jack is mostly a wooded bluff and river banks along the Delaware comprised of four non-contiguous parcels. The easternmost parcel, which is woolands and farmland, is landlocked by private property and is not accessible. The southernmost parcel includes river access, but sustained major flood damage, which eliminated most parking areas. Parking for one or two cars is available along Riverton Road near the former river access drive.
