Description

Added by Pawel Bednarski

Probably, in my opinion, the nicest and biggest waterfall along the Delaware Water Gap. The hike is rewarding with many stunning views, and the waterfall is amazing. Excellent for cliff jumping although it is considered illegal. However, with or without the attraction of cliff jumping, the hiking to the waterfall and the swimming is still an amazing adventure

This is my favorite summer spot to visit during the summer, as the hike is very scenic and simple. There's many great people that you will get to meet along the way, adding to the experience. There are some swim spots during the hike which might not be as crowded as the main waterfall.

There's also more beautiful waterfalls apart the main fall, but I just never had the luck to find them. If you look up videos on youtube you'll see what I'm talking about.

Unfortunately, state law prohibits cliff jumping and swimming is frowned upon and people have gotten hurt, and fined. So if you do want to go to this place mainly for the thrill of cliff jumping, it is at your own risk.

Essentially, the main reason I went to this place was to go cliff jumping. There are 3 spots where you can dive in from ranging from 60 feet up to 80 feet. It's a pretty tall waterfall. However, the hole is deep enough for jumping in. It was quite a crazy experience but do it at your own risk, you can get hurt/fined.

The place will mostly be packed with people, but I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Even though the park rangers don't want you swimming, it is still a cool experience. Without a doubt, this place is beautiful and refreshing.

Explore Dingmans Falls

The waterfall is about 0.2 miles into the hike. I would recommend going to the very top of the biggest waterfall towards the end of the hike, there are steps leading up to it! There's also a hidden water hole at the very top of the waterfall about 0.2 miles up stream, I saw people in it during the summer. This is an outstanding trail that is very maintained, easy to walk on.224 Dingmans Falls R...

Canoe and Camp in the Delaware Water Gap

This is one of those easy, simple and truly relaxing adventures you can embark on this summer. Thanks to outfitters such as Kittatinny Canoes you'll have everything ready for you when you arrive, minus of course your camping gear. They will pick you up at the destination of your choice along the river (see their website for options), drive you to their slipway 20 or so miles upstream, supply yo...

Explore George W Child's Park

Once parked, enter the trailhead and follow the trail down Dingmans Creek to the first set of falls. Try taking pictures from off the trail to the right of these falls. Continue on to the second waterfall and again step off the trail to take pictures from the right side of the waterfall, if you decide to shoot from the left side too, be aware the rocks are very slippery. Finally, you'll reach t...

Explore the Sussex County Sunflower Maze

I stumbled upon the Sunflower Maze by accident when I was driving through NJ and was quickly distracted by the enormous yellow flowers. So of course, I had to check it out! It opens at 9AM and last admission is at 6PM. The maze is only open from around August to October for the flower bloom. 3 miles of trails are directly made in the sunflowers field similar to a corn maze, but much more col...

Hike to Cliff Park Ridge

This 6.4 mile out-and-back trail (2.7 miles each way) is an excellent trail for those looking to spend an early morning or afternoon outside without the strenuousness of all-out mountain hiking. Throughout the entire hike, there is only 700 ft. of elevation gain. Don't let this turn you away if you are looking for spectacular views. Cliff Park Trail starts at the top of a ridge several hundred ...

Raymondskill Falls

This waterfall is just a short walk away from the main parking lot. Just a .30 mile hike will take you to a gorgeous three-tiered waterfall. There are platforms providing viewing areas to the falls. Raymondskill Falls is located in the northern portion of the Delaware National Water Gap Recreational Area. The parking lot is located off of Raymondskill Road which is just right off of the main ...
