THE RIVER, THE VALLEY, AND YOU

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.

NEW JERSEY

On the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, lies the Delaware Water Gap, where the Delaware River cuts through the ridge of the Appalachian Mountains. It is primarily used for outdoor activities, such as rafting, canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, rock climbing, and much more. The area covers 70,000 acres, and has significant Native American archaeological sites. Plans to have a dam built once seemed like a controversial idea, but as the dam was under construction too many variables and for the project would interfere. The National Park Service agreed to keep it at peace the way it is, sustained in its own natural beauty.
