I love this DWG National Park is amazing! As a child, my family used to go every summer for a week vacation. I loved getting out of the Manhattan and being around so much nature! The smell of live, the sounds of nature, nothing compares. The influence of going to the Park led me to buy a home in Sussex county so that I could be closer to nature. Our parks are priceless and should be preserved at all costs.
Sincerely,
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
