Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Slippery ! ... Resbaladizo!

After
(1) trying to swim across the river, and
(2) swimming in the river while intoxicated,
the most common cause of drowning in the park is climbing and swimming around waterfalls.

SLIPPERY!
Wet rocks are slippery. A fall could injure you. A sudden dunking could drown you.

• Stay on the trail.
• Stay off the rocks.
• Don't approach the edge.

¡RESBALADIZO!
Las rocas mojadas son resbaladizas. Un caída podría lastimarle. Una immersión repentina podría ahogarle.
• Permanezca en el sendero.
• Manténgase alejado de las rocas.
• No se acerque al borde.

Did You Know?
... that the Appalachian Trail (AT) runs more than 25 miles through Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The AT crosses the Delaware River and the Water Gap on a walkway on the Interstate-80 bridge. With bus service to New York and Philadelphia nearby, a hike on the AT is only a ride and a backpack away!
