Visitors and locals alike find the highlights of summers in the Poconos often come on or near the water. The summer isn’t complete without visiting a lake, creek, river, or waterfall, taking a dip or launching a boat. The region has no shortage of swimming holes and places to float about, from endless lakes and creeks to the rivers that run through the region. This includes the Delaware River -- the longest free-flowing river in eastern PA.
Spanning 282 miles, the Delaware River cuts right through the Poconos with 130 miles along Wayne, Pike, and Monroe counties. While the Upper Delaware – along Wayne and Pike counties – is popular in its own right, most in the region think of the famous Delaware Water Gap when thinking of hitting the river in the Poconos. The Delaware Water Gap cuts through the Appalachian Mountains, offering stunning areas for hiking, camping, and taking in some wilderness wonders. Enjoy a swim or a float, or just a quick dip to cool off after a long day exploring the Water Gap. The Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area is surrounded by tons of great places to eat and drink for those visiting and enjoying a day on the river.
