On the edge of the Poconos, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area covers a swath of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey shore of the Delaware River, at the point where the river cuts through the Appalachian Mountains. In addition to scenery to admire, the park offers hiking, camping and fishing.

And as long as you’re close to the water, the Delaware River Recreation Page can help you find outfits that will rent you a canoe or fix you up with an inner tube. It’s also full of information on camping, hiking and fishing.
