Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is comprised of federal land on both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides of the Delaware River between Milford, Pennsylvania, in the north and Slateford, Pennsylvania, in the south. For those who like the water, 40 miles of the Delaware River within the park boundary are open to boating, paddling, and fishing, and there are three swimming beaches with picnic areas. Landlubbers have access to over 100 miles of original hiking trails, including a 31-mile hiker-biker trail. In addition, 28 miles of the Appalachian Trail pass through the park. There are four campgrounds plus 62 riverside campsites for those making a trip down the river, not to mention dozens of private campgrounds just outside the park boundary.
