This is a great hike. It’s about 3-4 hours. I took my 8 year old son and he had no issue completing the hike. Even after getting back home he was fine. It was a great time to visit .
We started around 1:30 and then were back around 5 after taking almost an hour break at the summit. This hike is a must do and most rewarding.
Went here recently and absolutely loved it! The whole place is so peaceful and full of beautiful views everywhere you look. I did the Mount Tammany hike, it was a bit of a workout, but the view from the top overlooking the river was totally worth it. There are also lots of easy trails and quiet spots by the water if you just want to relax or have a picnic. The waterfalls make the whole area feel so refreshing and calm.
I’m already planning to go back in the fall to see the leaves change, I can imagine it’s even more stunning then. Definitely one of my favorite nature spots so far!
This was a really cute spot. Not too busy with a lot of great waterfalls and dog friendly trails. The main visitor center is the Bushkill meeting center so don’t miss that on your way up.
What an amazing unit of the National Park Service. The Delaware Water Gap has something for everyone! I highly recommend exploring it. The waterfalls here were some of the best I've ever seen!
This park is large and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Because this place is so large, I was only able to do a couple of the trails, which were very easy. The areas I visited were free, but on the map I picked up at the Bushkill Meeting Center, there are several locations where you have to pay.
They have plenty of parking and restrooms (porta pottys). I'd advise bringing plenty of water and snacks since it doesn't seem like they have places to buy food or drinks. They do have benches if you plan on having a picnic. Also, spray yourself generously with bug spray as there are a lot of bugs flying all around.
I plan on driving back this way in the fall to try some other harder trails and to admire the fall foliage. Coming here is a great way to get some exercise and be outdoors in nature.
