Changes Proposed for Delaware Water Gap National Rec Area

A committee of the Sierra Club in PA and NJ chapters is pushing to re-classify the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area as a National Park. If that happens, more than 70,000-acres of the national recreation area would be broken up. 56,000 huntable acres would be the Lenape Preserve. The remaining 9,700 acres would be The Delaware River National Park, which would straddle the river and include Dingman and Raymondskill Falls.
