Summary

The City of Lambertville, situated along the scenic Delaware River and the D&R Canal, is one of "America's Prettiest Towns" according to Forbes. The City attracts tourists for its beauty, architecture, shops, restaurants, and annual Shad Festival. While its 1.1 square mile area is essentially built-out, Lambertville is home to native fauna such as Bald Eagles, Cooper's Hawks, foxes, beavers, and butterflies, plus native flora such as jewelweed, wild blackberry, milkweed, and buttonbush, which support many other animals. The volunteer group Lambertville Goes Wild, with the endorsement of the Environmental Commission and the City Council, is promoting habitat creation and enhancement throughout the fabric of the City.
