The lake is stocked every year with trout and there are plenty of bass, crappies, and pan fish as well. I think boat rentals are about $20/hr. There are plenty of trails but they aren't maintained that well which is actually how I like it. Gives you somewhat of a challenge. Alcohol isn't allowed in PA state parks but if you need to wet your whistle, The Dutchman Tavern is right on Rt. 507 of you go north and Hammerjax Bar and Grill is on the end of Phillps Road about 1 mile from the park.

Who would think there a place is beautiful so close to home living in Central New Jersey! What makes a Delaware water gap so special in the fall is that there are some large hills here making the foliage extra special! The beauty of this place is incredible, you might feel like you're out west somewhere in the middle of Montana! There's an incredible hiking or biking trail that runs right alongside the Delaware water gap. There's also many absolutely amazing waterfalls in the area! We stayed two nights over a weekend and I felt like I had a great little vacation! Highly recommended if you're looking for a nearby gorgeous spot for nature anytime of the year! If you're like me and live in Central New Jersey, you don't have to go to upstate New York to get that kind of beauty. You can get it right here in Delaware water gap! They have a welcome center with people there that will help you with all your questions and needs for what you're looking for exclamation

New or not spending time on the water with Chris is highly recommended.

My friend and I like to I hike and this was the closest to where we were staying…read more I'll agree like some other Yelpers that the trails are not especially well marked, that it can get quite muddy, and that the tree roots are very plentiful. Additionally, someone some time ago "decorated" a pine tree into a Christmas tree complete with ornaments and a manger. There's also the broken down house in the middle of nowhere. We both had fun trying to navigate and the awesome payoff was a massive powerful waterfall along the Tobyhanna Creek. We stayed a good 15 minutes just observing its greatness. If you're not careful in your step, you'll step in the mud and be S O L. You may consider hiking boots here instead of the sneakers I wore. Check out the shot videos I posted. If you like woods and a not too strenuous hiking trail steepness wise, this is a great place to check out.

The campground is spotless, which is something we really appreciate. The sites are well cared for, the facilities are clean, and you can tell the owners take pride in keeping everything looking great. We spent our mornings fishing, afternoons at the pool, and evenings roasting marshmallows or sitting by a warm fire. The arcade was a huge hit, especially when we wanted a break from the heat, and the snack shack was perfect for grabbing a quick bite without having to leave the campground. There was always something to do, but it never felt crowded or chaotic. What stood out most was how comfortable and enjoyable the entire experience was. It felt safe, family-friendly, and truly relaxing. We made some great memories here and were already talking about our next trip before we even packed up to leave. Highly recommended!

Thought I'd add a more current review.

I set them at a limit of 2 fish each because we wouldn't be able to eat or afford too many. They used lures, their own poles, and we were able to catch 4 one-pounders within an hour. The kids at first were targeting certain fish but then realized they weren't quite skilled enough to do that. There is a smaller, colder easier trout pond; a large less easy trout pond, and a bass pond on the side. Previous reviews complain about a mean lady, but the cashier/weigher was nice. We came on a Thursday, and it was not crowded. Fish looked healthy. Saw mainly rainbow trout, but some palominos and some sparse brook trout. I believe the bass pond had small mouth bass. Supplies for fishing were there for rental/purchase including worms, lures, rods. They have free buckets to use, but it would have been better also if they had some nets and pliers too as various others borrowed ours during our visit. You bag and pay for fish, and then can pay $1 for cleaning and 0.50 for fileting (or maybe the other way around).
