Delaware Water Gap

Delaware Water Gap is a natural water gap on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania where the Delaware River cuts through a large ridge of the Appalachian Mountains. The area is situated within the most densely populated region of the United States and yet it offers tranquil landscapes, rich human history, and striking scenery along 40 miles of the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi. Visitors can explore over 100 miles of trails, fish for trout in crystal-clear streams, or paddle along the scenic Delaware River. The park is home to black bears, bobcats, Whitetail deer, and over 200 species of birds.
