Deer Leap Falls, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area


Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is among the most scenic nature wonder in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I always wanted to explore the park although I am not a big fan of black bear:P 

We were here during a friend visit last weekend. There are tons of spectacular waterfalls in the park and most of them are easily accessible. We explored quite a number of them despite a short 2 days trip. Dingman Falls and Silverthread Falls can be access easily via a 0.4 miles hiking trail; Buttermilk Falls is located at the roadside; Bushkill Falls, a.k.a. "The Niagara of Pennsylvania", can be reach easily via one of the several trails; all three waterfalls in the George W. Childs Recreation Site - Deer Leap Falls, Factory Falls and Fulmer Falls are also easily accessible via a short loop trail.

This picture was taken at the Deer Leap Falls in the George W. Childs Recreation Site. As you can see from the picture, the water flow is low due to the low rainfall recently. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic place to visit and photograph and I will definitely plans for another trip in the autumn.
