Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area preserves 70,000 acres along 40 miles of the Middle Delaware River on the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border, where the river cuts through Kittatinny Ridge in a dramatic water gap. The Appalachian Trail crosses the ridge within the park, providing access to Sunfish Pond, a glacially formed lake near the summit with elevated views over the river corridor. Dingmans Falls within the park drops 130 feet, making it the second-highest waterfall in Pennsylvania.
