  • Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is a 70,000-acre (28,000 ha) national recreation area administered by the National Park Service in northwest New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania. It is centered around a 40-mile (64 km) stretch of the Delaware River designated the Middle Delaware National Scenic River. At the area's southern end lays the Delaware Water Gap, a dramatic mountain pass where the river cuts between Blue Mountain and Kittatinny Mountain More than 4 million people visit the recreation area annually, many from the nearby New York metropolitan area. Canoeing, kayaking, and rafting trips down the river are popular in the summer. Other activities include hiking, rock climbing, swimming, fishing, hunting, camping, cycling, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. Worthington State Forest and a section of the long-distance Appalachian Trail are located within the area, alongside numerous waterfalls and historic sites. The region, known historically as the Minisink, was inhabited by the Munsee at the time of Dutch and French Huguenot colonization in the late 17th century. The national recreation area was established in 1965 ahead of a dam project which would have flooded a large region north of the Water Gap. Over 15,000 people were displaced as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acquired land for the reservoir. The controversial project was ultimately canceled in 1978 and the land transferred to the recreation area. There are recent efforts to re-designate the area as a national park, the first in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. (en)
  • Der Delaware Water Gap (Delaware-Durchbruch) ist ein Naherholungsgebiet (Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area) an der Ostküste der USA an der Grenze zwischen New Jersey und Pennsylvania. Der Delaware River verläuft hier durch die Nordausläufer der Appalachen. Die Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area ist ein in der weiteren Umgebung häufig benutzter Park zum Rafting, Kanufahren, Schwimmen, Wandern oder Angeln. Da die Delaware Water Gap eine recht große Schwarzbärpopulation aufweist, sind Bären-Sichtungen keine Seltenheit. Mit dem Red Dot Trail gibt es einen anspruchsvollen Wanderweg des National Park Service (kurz NPS) auf den Gipfel des , von wo man umfassende Panoramablicke auf das gesamte Gebiet hat. (de)
