Tips from the community
With over 100 miles of hiking, stunning waterfalls, swimming beaches, and extensive forests lining the Delaware River, the Delaware Water Gap is a national treasure. A hidden gem on the New Jersey-Pennsylvania Border, this region is a serene getaway for nearby city dwellers.
Not only is the the region stunning (it ranks as one of the top places to see fall foliage in the US), but it also contains historical and cultural significance. Delaware Water Gap is home to important Native American archeological sites beginning with the Paleo-Indian, the earliest known culture in the New World, as well as plenty of structures from the colonial period.
Year-round, this park is enjoyed for its easy access to outdoor adventure including hiking, swimming, camping, canoeing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, cycling, and fishing.
