Do the walk counterclockwise.

There is a nice bench along the main trail where you can rest and enjoy the scenery. A short trail loops around the lake and takes you down to the water's edge near the parking lot.

This is the best overlook you will get of the Water Gap. The view of Mount Tam's partially exposed diagonally-layered cliff face makes for a dramatic sight across the Delaware River. This is also an epic sunrise spot! The summit is not far up the trail from here and yields views south over the countryside, but this is the highlight of the mountain.

This is your first overlook of Minsi and the Delaware. A great stopping point if you don't want to go all the way to the overlook at the top of the mountain. This is a nice sunset spot, and much easier to get down from at dusk than the summit.

Big Pocono State Park offers stunning panoramic views and diverse recreational opportunities. Positioned on Camelback Mountain, the park provides a vantage point for breathtaking vistas of the Pocono Mountains and beyond. Besides multiple hiking trails, you can find picnic areas nearby to take a break.

Eureka Creek runs right across the Appalachian Trail and into the Delaware River, where the state line for Pennsylvania and New Jersey lies. Here hikers can fill up water to be filtered, and the small stream must be crossed. Hikers can find some small waterfalls along the creek within the rhododendron jungle.

At 1,542 feet (470 m) in elevation, Kittatinny Mountain sits on the Appalachian Trail and offers great views over the surrounding valley. You might find yourself sharing the summit — or the trail — with a wide variety of hikers, from through-hikers intent on completing the Appalachian Trail to casual day hikers and families out for an evening trek.

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: https://www.nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/backpacking-campsites.htm
