ForbesTraveler.com is a great website to check out when you're looking for traveling ideas. One of thier lists is "America's 25 Most Visited Tourist Sites". Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, right here in the Poconos, is number 16 on that list, with 4.8 million visitors a year. It is a beautiful area with a lot of history. For 40 miles the Middle Delaware River passes between low forested mountains with barely a house in sight. Then the river cuts through the mountain ridge to form the famed "Water Gap." Exiting the park, the river will run 200 miles more to Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean at Wilmington, Delaware. Additionally, the Appalachian Trail runs right through there as well. When you're visiting the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, don't forget to enjoy the cafes and boutiques on Main Street in the village of Delaware Water Gap. You're also just a few minutes from restaurants and shopping in Stroudsburg. For more information about the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, visit http://www.nps.gov/dewa/.
