Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
A Field Trip to Dingmans Falls
 

Dingmans Falls and other sites are part of the Geology Curriculum

 

Dingmans Falls
The boarwalk trail at Dingmans Falls can offer a variety of learning opportunities. A standard ranger-guided Waterfall Walk addresses topics in water quality, geology, forest ecosystems, invasive species, and the National Park Service mission. More in-depth programs can also be scheduled, or school group can visit on their own. In either case, please contact Kathleen Sandt (E-mail) to make arrangements for access, etc.
