Delaware Water Gap National Recreation – Pennsylvania

NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

Delaware Water Gap

HQ in Bushkill PA; the park is along the Delaware River in the states of NJ,PA

Paddlers slip down the river between low forested mountains; anglers wade the trout streams; hikers scan the valley from the ridge or peer into the 1000-foot-deep Water Gap. The valley has known human hand and voice for 10,000 years. Floodplains nourished the Native farmer; waterfalls drew the Victorian vacationer. Today, a 70,000-acre park welcomes those who seek the outdoors close to home.
