Proud Members of

This year we received hundreds of great photographs from people living in the Poconos.

The judging has been very difficult since so many photographs were very good. We finally decided on a 4 way tie for First Place winners, and a 2 way tie for Second Place winners.

Judging is, of course, often a subjective process. What one viewer may like as a favorite, another viewer may not, but we think all will agree that many talented photographers reside in the Poconos.

Your National Park Celebrates 50 Years!

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area was established by Congress on September 1, 1965, to preserve the natural, culture, and scenic resources of the Delaware River Valley and provide opportunities for recreation, education, and enjoyment to the most densely populated region of the nation. Sprung out of the Tocks Island Dam controversy, the last 50 years has solidified Delaware Water Gap National

Recreation Area as a park for the people. Today, visitors roam a landscape carved by uplift, erosion, and glacial activity that is marked by hemlock and rhododendron-laced ravines, rumbling waterfalls, fertile floodplains and is rich with archaeological evidence and historic narratives. This haven for natural and cultural stories is your place, your park, and we invite you to celebrate with us in 2015.

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015 POCONO LIVING MAGAZINEŠ 25

National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Located between the Pocono Plateau and Kittatinny Ridge in close proximity to the most densely populated region of the nation, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River preserve the natural, cultural, and scenic resources and values of the Delaware River valley and provide opportunities for resource-based recreation, education, and enjoyment.

Superintendent

The River, the Valley, and You Paddlers slip down the river between low forested mountains; anglers wade the streams; hikers scan the valley from the ridge or peer into the deep Water Gap. The valley has known human hand and voice for over 10,000 years. Abundant plant and wildlife attracted American Indians; floodplains nourished early farmer’s crops; waterfalls drew Victorian vacationers.

Today, a 70,000-acre park welcomes you to the enticing Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River.

Millions of years of uplift, erosion, and glacial activity gave us the ridges, Delaware Water Gap, lakes, and streams that flow through hemlock and rhododendron-laced ravines, and the waterfalls that pour off the Pocono Plateau.

The crisp, cool air around those waterfalls refreshes the body and the spirit.

Steeped in rich history, trails, roads, and traces reveal reminders of times gone scattered throughout the park.

The Minsi Path and Minisink Trail converged on a Delaware River island that was once the centerpiece of a large American Indian settlement.

Agricultural fields still in cultivation help preserve the rural landscape predominate in the 18th century.

In the 1800s resorts flourished throughout the region where city dwellers arrived by carriage or rail, often spending the entire summer away from the urban heat. The Water Gap became a scenic wonder for fashionable travelers.

Today the natural and cultural wonders provide abundant recreational opportunities.

Enjoy this rural vacationland.

The Delaware River is the longest undammed United States river east of the Mississippi, extending 330 miles from Hancock, New York, to the Atlantic Ocean. The Delaware River Water Trail extends nearly 200 miles from Hancock, New York, to Trenton, New Jersey. Like a conventional trail, a water trail is a recreational corridor, but instead of hiking, the water trail is for boats, such as canoes, kayaks and smallmotorized watercraft.

Eshback Access

From Hialeah to Owens trailheads, the trail is mostly flat as it traverses former settlements and farms. From the Owens Trailhead on Freeman Tract Road, the trail switchbacks sharply up the side of the Hogback, or ridge, to the park’s headquarters. Observation decks on the side of the headquarters facility provide wildlife viewing areas.

Trailhead

The next several miles of the trail are dominated by the river to the east and the cliffs to the west, with the trail and US 209 squeezed between in places. From Raymondskill Creek to Milford Beach, the Raymondskill Cliff parallels the nearly flat trail. The northern terminus of the McDade Trail is Milford Beach, a popular recreation site for local residents since 1945.

Whether you start from this end, Hialeah, or a point in between, you are sure to find something to fit any mood.

Seasonal Restrictions The trail between Pittman Orchard and White Pines Trailhead is closed from December 1st to August 15th yearly for resource protection; most of this section allows hiking ONLY when it is open.

Please observe restrictions posted on bulletin boards at these trailheads. River Road may close after snowfalls or heavy rain and wind storms. Freeman Tract Road and Community Drive are township roads with no winter service.

Exploring Old Mine Road Constructed in the mid-1700s, Old Mine Road connected the Hudson River and Philadelphia to the Pahaquarry Mines and provided an important conduit for New Jersey farmers taking crops to area markets, making it one of the oldest commercial roads in the country. Today, Old Mine Road stitches together sections of several roads into the park’s main passage in New Jersey and still retains much of the flavor of 100 years ago, making it a popular driving and biking route. .

Stop in the Craft Store and Gallery for more information on summer weekend self-guided tours.

Van Campen Inn This fine colonial home was never intended as an inn in the commercial sense. By law, certain houses along a major roadway were required to house travelers. During the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the stout stone walls sheltered 150 people against the threat of Indian attack.

The Walpack Historical Society offers tours of the house on most Sundays during the summer.

Walpack Center This authentic country village began when Isaac and Jasper Rundle opened the first general store in 1850, and the village followed the same pattern of growth and decline as the other villages. Today, the Walpack Historical Society operates a museum in the First Rosenkrans House on summer weekends.

Delaware View House In the early 20th century, many old area farm steads were used as country homes. Samuel Garris purchased this property in 1904, enlarged the house, and operated it as a hunting lodge. Later he leased it to a family that operated it as a boarding house and later as the Flatbrookville Hotel.

Millbrook Village In 1832, Abram Garis built a grist mill along Van Campen brook. The mill soon attracted other businesses and by the 1870s, Millbrook was a thriving farm village. However, by 1910, the mill, store and hotel closed their doors.

Today, only a handful of original Millbrook buildings remain. Other buildings have been moved from other sites or are newly built to help depict village life in the valley during the late 19th and early 20th century. Several buildings are open on summer weekends.

Calno School If you traveled through this area in the late 1800s, you would notice that schools were located in places that would allow students to walk no more than four or five miles to attend. When this school was in operation, there was also a school in Millbrook Village, only 5 miles north.

Pahaquarry The Coopermine Trail passes by the foundation of the Pahaquarry Cooper Mine processing mill and mineshafts. Later, this area became a Boy Scout Camp. It was just one of numerous scout and church camps that once existed within the park boundaries. NOTE: Mineshafts are closed to protect critical bat habitat.

Delaware River from Cliff Trail

My name is Kevin Furst. I am the social media manager at Shawnee Mountain Ski Area and a freelance photographer who loves adventure. Living in the beautiful Pocono Mountains has given me many opportunities to share my love of the outdoors and photography. Camera in hand, you can find me out on trails exploring the mountains, kayaking on the river or camping under the stars. Spending time outside with my camera is the perfect way to relieve stress, unwind and exercise while doing something I am passionate aboout. At an early age, I fell in love with the captivating photos in the National Geographic magazines thanks to my grandparents. The photos in the magazines fueled my desire to explore new places, meet new people and take photos.
