    Hiking

    There are no shelters along the stretch of the Appalachian Trail that runs through Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, but there are a handful of backcountry campsites where you can camp. Camping is restricted to through-hikers who are hiking for two or more consecutive days; details here: nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/backpacking-campsites.htm
