Delaware water gap


By Abel Smith at 2011-02-11 03:08:32
Delaware Water Gap park is where adventure can be found and enjoyed. The water gap in Delaware is where you can kayak and take off into nature. Adventure all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and barely see a house in 73 miles of river.The park is very popular with the sun worshipers and body surfing crowd. The northern swimming area also features a modern bath house with showers, changing rooms, and a food concession.

The trip starts on I-95 with the crossing of the George Washington Bridge. When one has seen that bridge so many times over the years it is easy to take it for granted.An hour later you and I-80 are greeted by an imposing mountain gateway. This is the Delaware Water Gap.A stop here while in the area is a great idea you can enjoy a variety of activities spend a little time at Rockford Park.

It stretches from Phillipsburg New Jersey on the Delaware River to beautiful Mahwah, Bergen County.The canal went from Phillipsburg to Jersey City, transporting coal from Pennsylvania as well as iron ore and other goods across northern New Jersey through a series of water turbine powered inclined plane, locks and aqueducts.In the summer, they went to the shore to catch oysters and clams. In the fall, they would move back to their village and harvest their crops. In the winter, they hunted deer and other animals.

Franklin Mineral Museum, Sterling Mining Museum and Oxford Furnace and Shippen Manor are great places to visit if you are a history buff or a teacher with a group of children eager to learn, or just see some really cool stuff.The Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area is regulated by the National Park Service and is one of the most popular stretches on the Delaware River.There are primitive campsites available, but on the weekends you will be competing with crowds of paddlers, swimmers, barbequers, campers, and fisherman for these camping spots.

Camping at a commercial site will also allow you to take advantage of the many recreational opportunities offered in the Delaware Water Gap.Nearby Allamuchy State Park (which, by the way, is composed mostly of quartz granite), offers a number of tiers and cliffs for amazing hiking experiences.

Delaware Water Gap -It's been named as a National Recreation Area, with hundreds of options for outdoor adventure sports like river rafting, skiing, kayaking as well as mountaineering trails and trekking.Main Street is bookended by a prestigious prep school and the town's venerable feed store. This is a walking village, good for an hour's stroll with weekend guests and a poke around the stores and quiet streets.
