Most hikers want to climb Mt. Tammany in New Jersey, but the best view of Tammany is from the top of the other gatepost of the Gap, Mt. Minsi in Pennsylvania.

From Lake Lenape in the village of Delaware Water Gap to the top of Mt Minsi is about 2 miles. Day hikers can return from the top via the Mt Minsi Fire Road for a vigorous 4-mile loop.

Less strenuous hikes are available to the first overlook on the Appalachian Trail, along the creek bed down to Resort Point overlook, around Lake Lenape, and through the old roadways around Lake Lettini.
