The almost 70,000 acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is located We begin our run in western New Jersey, at the lin New Jersey and Pennsylvania along approximately 40 miles of the 330 mile long Delaware River. The Delaware River is one of the last large free-flowing rivers left in America (not including Alaska) and is one of the last major rivers without any dams or control structures on its main stem. This is one reason why over 100 miles of the Delaware River have been placed into, and an additional 80 mile section is currently a candidate for, the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. We begin our run in western New Jersey, at the last exit of Interstate 80 before crossing into Pennsylvania. The Kittatinny Point visitors center is located there. This is also where the Old Mine Road begins. This road follows an aboriginal trail along the Delaware River believed to be 8,000 years old. Some say it is the oldest commercial road on the North American continent. The Dutch settlers used it in the 1600

GPS buttermilk falls. Theirs trails back there. Dirt roads. Summer time they are more strict because of city people ruining everything. Dont go take pics of your jeep in the waterfall either... respect the land and you shouldnt have a problem. Mostly dirt and gravel roads. Couple mud holes... good scenery but not really a rock crawl spot. Theirs a few camp grounds around the area. Would be a cool small overland trip.
