In Part 1 of my incredible journey through the Delaware Water Gap, I cover Day 1 of my solo adventure, paddling the entire Middle Delaware River, officially "The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area".
On the 6th of June 2022, I set out to kayak the entire length of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area and some more. I put in at Port Jervis NY, and the goal was to get all the way down to the Delaware Water Gap (Mt Tammany / Mt Minsi) and past the Arrow Island, entering the Lower Delaware National Scenic Area, and ending the journey at Portland PA. The trip took me 48 hours, including 16 hours of paddling, and 2 nights of camping in designated National Park Service campsites. Rapids, wildlife, nature, seclusion and the peacefulness of the DWG NRA gave me a one of a kind experience that I'll never forget, and I know I'll go back for more. I camped on Namanock Island (NI-4) on the first night, and Hamilton (HA-92) on the second.
