    Comments for Delaware Water Gap

    Paddlers slip down the river between low forested mountains; anglers wade the trout streams; hikers scan the valley from the ridge or peer into the 1000-foot-deep Water Gap. The valley has known human hand and voice for 10,000 years. Floodplains nourished the Native farmer; waterfalls drew the Victorian vacationer. Today, a 70,000-acre park welcomes those who seek the outdoors close to home

    Boy Scout Camp Weygadt on the Delaware

    Between 1928 and 1972, an estimated 250,000 boy scouts camped along the Delaware River. Of the recreation area's 70,000 acres, more than 6% - about 4,600 acres - once belonged to Boy Scout camps. This first boy scout camp in the Delaware Water Gap area was the combined effort of two Pennsylvania councils from cities about 25 miles south of the Water Gap. The Easton Council used the southern portion of the parcel for its Camp Weygadt, while the Bethlehem Council used the north section for its Camp Minsi. In 1930, the Bethlehem Council moved its camp to the Poconos, and the entire parcel stretching up Mt. Tammany became known as Camp Weygadt.
