National Park Service

The Delaware Water Gap has been a vacation destination for more than a century and visitors have spent many overnights close to nature. The park offers many recreational activities that range from hiking, boating, fishing, and camping, reliving the past through period celebrations, to the park's birth during the conservation and environmental movements of the 1960s and 1970s. There are many experiences on both sides of the Delaware River in New Jersey and Pennsylvania that provide glimpses into the rich history of this region.
