Delaware Water Gap

The Delaware Water Gap is a geologic formation on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where the Delaware River traverses a large ridge of the Appalachian Mountains. The Worthington State Forest is to the immediate northeast on the New Jersey side of the border. U.S. Interstate 80 also passes through the gap.
