Red Dragon Canoe Club
Private
Red Dragon Canoe Club occupies six acres of Delaware River waterfront at the historic Shipman Mansion, 221 Edgewater Avenue, and offers paddling, sailing and social boating for its members. The club has a sailing teaching history — its nonprofit Delaware River Sailing School trained instructors who first learned to sail there — and its rules require an adult on shore or in another boat whenever a sailor under 15 is out alone. No current youth summer camp program, with dates, ages or hours, is published on the club's site.

Powered by GoogleThe Red Dragon Canoe Club is truly one of South Jersey’s best-kept secrets. From the moment you arrive, you’re struck by the charm of this historic Shipman’s Mansion. The views of the Delaware River are absolutely stunning—whether you’re watching the sunset over the water or enjoying a peaceful morning paddle, it’s a little slice of paradise. The club has a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel like part of the community from day one. Members are friendly, supportive, and genuinely passionate about sailing, paddling and preserving the club’s long-standing traditions. It’s more than just a place to sail, canoe or kayak—it’s a place to relax, connect, and make great memories. The clubhouse itself has character and history, and the grounds are well-maintained. Whether you’re there for an event, a casual hangout, or a solo paddle, there’s always a sense of calm and camaraderie. Highly recommend.
A beautiful place that we have been able to visit for different occasions thanks to our friends
My son & I came here for a fall event! The grounds are so magnificent very welcoming . Such a nice place to bring the family for the day . The day we were there they had a sail boat race. Definitely can’t wait to come back and visit it again
So, we investigated the Shipman Mansion tonight. It was awesome. If you ghost hunt, you need to put it on your list. The place was very well kept. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and the cost very reasonable.
Was across the Delaware River in Croydon, Pa, when posting this. My phone's location must have skipped over to the NJ side. I visited the club once to take photos. The folks there were friendly and nice.
