Van Campens Glen is truly a jewel, a cool green grotto
in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Van Campens Brook,
a substantial and clear stream, runs under a canopy of hemlock, laurel
and ferns. There are two stunning falls in the glen. The Lower
Falls (15 feet) is a plunge over red sandstone ledges a couple hundred
yards upstream from the parking area. The Upper Falls (total 30 feet),
a quarter mile further upstream, tumbles over a 10-foot cascade in a vertical
canyon, then a right-angle turn over a 5 foot free-fall, a 10 foot free-fall
alongside white limestone ledges, and finally a 5-foot slide into a deep,
clear pool.
Van Campens Glen is on the Old Mine Road 9.5 miles north of the Delaware Water Gap. There is a small parking area. A well-marked trail along the stream leads to the falls. |

| Laurel Falls consists of three dramatic slides on Sunfish
Creek in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Lower Laurel
(15 feet) is a staight slide over a corrugated shale face. Middle
Laurel (30 feet) is the prettiest, a two- stepped slide from a gap in the
rock over smooth, steep ledges. Upper Laurel (total 30 feet) includes
a series of cascades and slides.
Laurel Falls are within 1/4 mile up the William O. Douglas Trail from the Old Mine Road, 4.5 miles north of the Delaware Water Gap. |
