| 0.00 miles West End I-80 Delaware River Bridge |
GPS:40.982440 -75.138069 Drop-off/Pick-up only See Comments --- The official north end of NJ Section 1 is at the west end of the I-80 bridge across the Delaware River. The southbound trail to PA Section 1 goes left onto a dead-end street and on to the village of Delaware Water Gap. Parking or even stopping on the Interstate is dangerous. Drop-off/ pickup may be possible at the end of the dead end street. This is the point indicated by the marker on the attached map. Closest parking on the Pennsylvania side is on the streets of Delaware Water Gap or at the hiker parking lot at the point where Mountain Road is barricaded to vehicular travel (See Mile 0.2 and 0.4). The northbound trail (to NJ Sec. 6) crosses the bridge using a pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge. Parking is also available on the NJ side near the Visitor Center. This is about a mile away (See NJ Section 6 Mile 12.7). There is a relatively new marker depicting border of PA and NJ in middle of walkway on bridge.

Fox Gap AT Parking lot holds about 5-6 cars. Parking is only on one side so if hiking NOBO, you will have to cross Rt 191 which is around a bend and cars speed in this section. So watch out. 01/03/24 --- Veena --- |
