The Delaware Water Gap is just that-a gaping hole in the Appalachians through which the Delaware River flows. This craggy, spectacular gap, on the border of northwestern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania, is more than a mile wide. Yet the National Recreation Area that surrounds the gap offers much more than a break in the rock; it's 40 miles of the middle Delaware River and almost 70,000 acres of land along its shores. The Delaware River itself, with beaches and boat launches, serves as the centerpiece of recreation-but the surrounding area offers much more. Rocky cliffs stretch straight up, offering great climbing. Wooded hills pepper the landscape, making for awesome hiking and biking. Wildlife? You bet: Deer, beaver, and otter scamper through these woods and waters, while hawks and bald eagles visit. Streams, ponds, waterfalls, and mountain overlooks make for incredible scenery. And though four million people visit each year, that doesn't mean you can't carve out your own stretch of solitude.
