Traveling through the Park

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is over 40 miles long with about 150 miles of driveable road. While there is no central parking lot to traverse the entire park, all trails and recreation sites have their own parking areas.

For information on the recreation opportunities within the park, stop by one of the park's visitor centers. Rangers are available during open business hours to give out information, answer questions, and offer recommendations.

If you cannot stop by a visitor center, feel free to download the park newspaper and explore this website for information. Visit the maps page or download the National Park Service App for park information while offline.
