The park offers amazing views of the circuitous Delaware river, pristine water falls and tranquility. Since there are no parks in NJ, I visit here often to enjoy nature and to forget the daily hustle and bustle. Just the thought of driving to DE Water Gap soothes me. It is a very scenic location which offers both personal access by walk or drive by the river views.
Sincerely,
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Once touted as a scenic wonder of the world, the Delaware Water Gap is a mile-long stretch of the Middle Delaware River that slices through two mountains. The park includes the river and 67,000 pristine forested acres where visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, fishing and water sports in one of the cleanest rivers in the country.
