The County of Warren and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Will Be Hosting a Public Outreach Meeting on Wednesday March 23Rd from 10:00 A.M The County of Warren and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy will be hosting a public outreach meeting on Wednesday March 23rd from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Warren County Library Headquarters located at 2 Shotwell Drive in Belvidere, NJ, 07823. Please join us to learn how Warren County can become an official Appalachian Trail Community, the benefits of this official designation, and how you can be involved. Spanning 2,190 miles across 14 states, the Appalachian Trail draws 3 million visitors each year. While only about 13 miles of this exceptional trail pass through Warren County, our section along the scenic Kittatinny Ridge boasts: . Natural attractions like the Delaware River, Mount Tammany, Dunnfield Creek, Sunfish Pond, Catfish Pond, Mt. Mohican, and more; . Passage through New Jersey’s Worthington State Forest and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which draws up to 5 million visitors per year; . Nearby sites of interest like Turtle Beach, Old Mine Road, Millbrook Village; and the Mohican Outdoor Center. This program will not only help promote Warren County as a natural gateway to the popular Appalachian Trail and the entire Delaware River region, but it will help connect visitors to our inviting communities, our charming downtowns and villages, our farmers and farm markets, as well as all of our other local businesses. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the celebrated Appalachian Trail, but we need help from community members like you. We hope you will join us!

  • Geologic Trails in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
    NYSGA 2010 Trip 1 - Epstein Delaware Water Gap, A Geology Classroom By Jack B. Epstein U.S. Geological Survey INTRODUCTION The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA) contains a rich geologic and cultural history within its 68,714 acre boundary. Following the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the Delaware River has cut a magnificent gorge through Kittatinny Mountain, the Delaware Water Gap, to which all other gaps in the Appalachian Mountains have been compared. Proximity to many institutions of learning in this densely populated area of the northeastern United States (Fig. 1) makes DEWA an ideal locality to study the geology of this part of the Appalachian Mountains. This one- day field trip comprises an overview discussion of structure, stratigraphy, geomorphology, and glacial geology within the gap. It will be highlighted by hiking a choice of several trails with geologic guides, ranging from gentle to difficult. It is hoped that the ―professional‖ discussions at the stops, loaded with typical geologic jargon, can be translated into simple language that can be understood and assimilated by earth science students along the trails. This trip is mainly targeted for earth science educators and for Pennsylvania geologists needing to meet state-mandated education requirements for licensing professional geologists. The National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the New Jersey Geological Survey, and local schoolteachers had prepared ―The Many Faces of Delaware Water Gap: A Curriculum Guide for Grades 3–6‖ (Ferrence et al., 2003). Portions of this guide, ―The Many faces of Delaware Water Gap‖ appear as two appendices in this field guide and is also available by contacting the Park (http://www.nps.gov/dewa/forteachers/curriculummaterials.htm).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY e lower Delaware River flows through the very heart of the birthplace of our great nation. Every bend in the river speaks to us of history, of beauty, of oppor­ T:tunity. Our nation's history is revealed in the agricultural fields, forests, canals, villages, mills and inns along its path. Diverse flora and fauna thrive on its banks and islands. Yet today the Delaware River supports one of the country's largest concentra­ tions of population and industry. Our challenge is to manage the growth and use of the corridor and its resources to protect its outstanding character Concerned about the future of the lower Delaware River, interested citizens and organizations encouraged their representatives in the United States Congress to autho­ rize a study of the river. This document presents the results of the Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River Study, authorized by Public Law 102-460. It summarizes the extensive resources associated with the lower Delaware River, the River Management Plan, and the eligibility and suitability of the study segments for National Wild and Scenic River designation. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Program is designed to provide river protection through the combined efforts of private landowners and other citizens, river related organizations, and all levels of government. Emphasis is given to protection oflandown­ ers' rights. Designation does not open private lands to public access, nor does it affect existing uses of private property. Each designated river receives permanent protection from federally licensed or assisted dams, diversions, channelizations, and other water resource projects that would have direct and adverse effects on the river's free-flowing condition or outstanding resources.

  • Appalachian Trail Day Hikes
    Appalachian Trail Day Hikes Hoping to hike on the Appalachian Trail with your family? While this list is by no means comprehensive, it is a great starting place to find a hike appropriate for the ages and ability levels of your hiking crew. Many of these hikes were adapted from “The Best of the Appalachian Trail: Day Hikes” by Frank and Victoria Logue and Leonard Atkins, which you can purchase here. There is at least one hike listed in each of the states that the A.T. passes through, and hikes are listed from north to south along the Trail. While there are general directions listed under the hike descriptions, trails can and do get rerouted, and blazes are not always reliable or easily visible, so be sure to bring a map with you on your hike. All of the hikes are listed with their round trip distance and a difficulty rating. Distance is an important determinant in deciding if a hike is right for you, but we have found that elevation can be even more of a factor. Hikes are rated from easy to strenuous using the following scale: Easy [very little elevation gain, under 200’ under 2 miles] Easy-Moderate [some elevation gain, approx. 200’-400’ appropriate for youth] Moderate [some significant elevation gain, approx. 400- 700’, and steeper ascents and descents] Moderate-Strenuous [approx. 700’-1000’ elevation gain, may have challenging terrain in parts of the trail, may have steeper ascents/descents] Strenuous [at least 1,000’ elevation gain, and/or a particularly steep ascent or descent that an average hiker might find extremely difficult] Construction and road closures could affect the driving directions listed for each hike, so be sure to double check directions against other sources before beginning on your journey.

  • Maryland to Greylock Massachussettes
    July 9, 1983 Saturday (1155.1 mtg) I walked down the road for just a ways before intersecting with the AT along the banks of the Potomac River where it paralleled for a short while before beginning the climb out of the river valley to the crest of South Mountain in Maryland. Near the crest was a rocky outcrop known as Weverton Cliffs which provided a good view back along the Potomac to Harpers Ferry nestled between the junction of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. The climb was not as bad as I thought it would be based on the profile shown on the edge of the map. That is the problem with the profiles, due to each map having slightly different scales, Looking back toward Harpers Ferry from Weverton Cliffs. anyone not paying attention to this may be mislead concerning the elevation change. Five miles farther along the ridge, I encountered a huge stone gateway that marked the entrance to Gathland State Park. The park was a memorial to Civil War news correspondents. While at the park I met three other thru hikers. I had left Tom since he had been picked up by a friend for a few days of rest and relaxation. The three hikers at Gathland, Pete, Roger, and Vince were all headed to Maine as I was. I did not stick around the park for long. From there I boogied on seven miles to Dahlgren campground that featured a showerhouse situated right beside the trail. I did not take a shower, although I probably needed one, but figured what good would it do.
