Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

From Easton continue north on Route 611 to Stroudsburg and then along Route 209 and the Delaware Water Gap. Here you find recreational activity of every available type year round. Whether you enjoy fishing and boating on a lake, skiing on a mountain, whitewater rafting on a fast-running river, hiking, biking, horseback riding, or camping, all these and more are available in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and nearby Pocono Mountains. (Easy access to the Poconos may be had via the I-80 from Stroudsburg.) And if you want none of these activities, there is beautiful scenery at every turn of the road as well as credit-card activities like shopping and antiquing.
