Get to know the river

Swim; fish; boat; canoe, kayak, raft and tube.
The Middle Delaware (left) is one of the cleanest rivers
around; the Delaware watershed provides water for
10% of the nation's population

Watch the Watershed at Work

The Water Gap is a geological testament to the power of flowing water.

On the Pennsylvania side, streams tumble off the Pocono plateau and rush through dark hemlock groves to the river. Watch the watershed in action at Dingmans Falls (left)Raymondskill, or Childs Park.

Stroll into the Past

There's still more to do; this valley has been a home for thousands of years, and dozens of historic structures dot
the park's scenic byways. Step back to the year 1900 at Millbrook Village (left), open weekends in summer. 

In October, a hundred volunteer "villagers" bring the place
alive for Millbrook Days.

Hike the Endless Mountain

You are in the footsteps of two centuries of hikers as
you climb the gateposts of the gap, Mt. Minsi PA and
Mt. Tammany NJ (left) and emerge atop the "endless mountain" — Kittatinny Ridge.

You can hike 27 miles of the Appalachian Trail within
the park.
