Logging was done throughout the area. Loggers would cut the trees during the winter and skid them close to streams to float them down to the Delaware in the spring. Once in the river, hundreds of logs were fastened together forming a raft to float them down river to Easton, Trenton and Philadelphia. Long Eddy's calm waters made it a resting place for rafts men to spend the night as they were transporting logs from further upriver.
