The lake is stocked every year with trout and there are plenty of bass, crappies, and pan fish as well. I think boat rentals are about $20/hr. There are plenty of trails but they aren't maintained that well which is actually how I like it. Gives you somewhat of a challenge. Alcohol isn't allowed in PA state parks but if you need to wet your whistle, The Dutchman Tavern is right on Rt. 507 of you go north and Hammerjax Bar and Grill is on the end of Phillps Road about 1 mile from the park.

"The Way You Think It Is May Not Be the Way It Is At All."…read more This is the beautiful quote that's written out on the park's map that represents what this place truly is. As it states, it is a sanctuary - a sacred place for meditation, quietness and reflection. There are about 90 stones throughout the sanctuary - sourced locally and placed between 1980 and 2005 - that are nearly 3.6 billion (!) years old. Wow. There is a pond area as well, filled with koi fish and other little creatures. Since we've had a long, harsh winter in the North East this year, not much had bloomed and the trees were still bare with lots of anticipating bursts of spring ahead. I did capture a few daffodils and flowers poking their way through some of the brush. The trails are easy, natural and inviting. We arrived fairly early in the AM on a Saturday, and snagged a parking spot. There is limited parking and by the time we were leaving, the spots were all full. I would think the earlier in the day one can come, the better it is all around. Upon leaving a realized there is also a little Resource Center and Gem Shop by the fountains, but we were on our way out and skipped exploring this. Plus I was on my way to (a very clean!) porter-potty (so thankful one was on site.) toilet paper & hand sanitizer, too! Just as an FYI Thoroughly enjoyed coming here and exploring this beautiful, simple space. I love that they're a sanctuary, a non-profit organization committed to preserving nature's beauty and diversity. My heart was happy. Thankful. Inspiring. Would love to possibly create a similar nature sanctuary in the city one day.

Its a great place for a date, family outing, or just some alone time. Great photo ops.

Who would think there a place is beautiful so close to home living in Central New Jersey! What makes a Delaware water gap so special in the fall is that there are some large hills here making the foliage extra special! The beauty of this place is incredible, you might feel like you're out west somewhere in the middle of Montana! There's an incredible hiking or biking trail that runs right alongside the Delaware water gap. There's also many absolutely amazing waterfalls in the area! We stayed two nights over a weekend and I felt like I had a great little vacation! Highly recommended if you're looking for a nearby gorgeous spot for nature anytime of the year! If you're like me and live in Central New Jersey, you don't have to go to upstate New York to get that kind of beauty. You can get it right here in Delaware water gap!

Hello Yelp World! This is my first review, not for a restaurant, but for this spectacular hike up…read moreMount Tammany at Worthington State Forest. So I've picked up hiking the last few years because not only is it great exercise and you get to enjoy awesome views but it's free, unless you count the cost of getting there. My first attempt at hiking here was denied several weeks ago when I came on a Sunday at 10am, huge mistake! Because of the pandemic, only the Kittatinny Point Visitor Center lot is open, and by this time on a weekend the parking lot was packed to the gills. So do yourself a favor and either avoid coming here late, or not come at all on a weekend, otherwise the park ranger will turn you away if the lot is full. Today I got here at 9am. Score!!! Only a half-dozen cars were parked here on this Monday morning. Follow the signs to the beginning of the red dot trail, which is located on the west side of Route 80, to begin this challenging hike. There are other trails at Mount Tammany but the red-blue trail seems to most popular. Be warned, the trail is quite steep and will involve a lot of rock scrambles. I will admit my teenage son was flying up the mountain while I was taking it slow and gasping for air, haha! So if you haven't twisted an ankle or got bit by a rattlesnake or copperhead - yes, there is a signpost warning about the snakes, but I didn't see any - you will come upon two overlooks with beautiful views of Mt. Minsi and the Delaware Water Gap. The first viewpoint is about three-quarters of the way up the red trail and the other one is at the summit. You should definitely scramble down the rocks a bit if you're comfortable with it to get much better vistas. After taking in the views and catching your breath you will continue along the red dot trail which will connect you with the blue dot trail. Follow the blue trail to descend the mountain. While not as steep coming down, there are still lots of loose rocks that you need to be wary of. As you near the end of your hike on the blue dot trail, you are rewarded once again with a beautiful little waterfall. Hikers were wading in the stream here to cool off, but I took a pass. Once you've finished taking your pictures here, cross the bridge and continue on the white trail, which is actually part of the Appalachian Trail, and you will end up back at the beginning of the red dot trail where you began. You can now go back under the underpass to head back to your car at the visitor center.

A field trip was coincidentally at the bog parking when we pulled up and he kindly explained. There was a port a potty there. The two trails on the property are open to the public but were easy to miss on the road. There is a picture of the trails at the bog parking, but not one online, so you should either snap a pic or download a trail guide app, both of which weren't ideal. So we picked the north woods trail, where there is a small pull off area for only a couple of cars max. There are allegedly 2 loops according to the map, but we only saw markers for one so not sure where they could have diverged. At one point the trail takes a hard turn, and after that there were no more markers. We used the app to make sure we hadn't gone off trail, but we were good, just not enough blazes. Wasn't too much to see in early spring, but it was quiet and flat-levelled, so it was pretty easy to do. Nothing too noteworthy on the path and it was only like a mile or so. It was fine. Would like to plan ahead and see when the bog is available if there is anything to see in there.

There are 2 trails off of Bog Road though. The lower one that walks by the bog was too damp/waterlogged to continue into but the one to the north was dry and very serene.

When I was just a young tot, we used to go on school field trips to this place. It was legendary!…read more They had big slides, a huge tower fort, and all the swings you could shake a stick at. Were they completely safe? Hell no, but we had more fun than a dog in a bone factory at that park. Sure I came home with a few inch-long splinters in my bum, but Uncle Chester always coaxed them out with a little baby oil, some rubber gloves, and a few feathers. Hell, even my daughters grew up going to that park. They had softball games twice a week on their fields. As a father and spectator, I got ejected from my first game at their upper field. Argued balls and strikes till I was blue in the face. The sad thing was that it was still batting practice and the game hadn't started. Oh well, that's just the kind of fella I am. I had a lot of firsts at that park...my first field trip, my first kiss, my first kiss with a girl, first slap across the face...I could go on and on. Well, I was up here at the end of the season this past September, and while there are still some things from my childhood that remain, quite a few things have changed. Gone are the big slide and wooden fort I used to get stuck in while climbing up; they have been replaced with big, plastic, Ronald McDonald looking Fisher-Price crap. Nothing even remotely dangerous remains, it's all replaced by safe, conservative stuff (and not the good kinda conservative). I understand the struggle to keep kids safe but pretty soon it's gonna be a bunch of bean bag chairs and hula hoops, c'mon let the kids be kids. Schools still have nurses right? Oh and let me be clear. This park is now obnoxious about their no dog policy. Every free piece of real estate is plastered with a NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. My wife even wore her favorite Big Dogs branded t-shirt and was asked to leave several times. The athletic fields themselves were in great shape and I must commend the park staff for the great mowjobs. They looked fantastic! Although I must say the tennis courts have seen better days, the amount of cracks, dead spots, and holes reminded me of a PennDOT job. Also, what's with all the mounds of dirt and gravel towards the upper end? I thought I had stumbled into the back entrance of the Eureka Stone Quarry in Snydersville. On the other hand, If I was still a kid those would probably have been the funnest thing there to play on. I give it 3 stars just for the fond memories.
