点评:We camped on the New Jersey side, so drove in from the North.
Day 1 - We stopped at the Dingman Falls Visitor Center. It wasn't open since we were there pretty early. Took the very easy accessible hike. You get 2 waterfalls - Silver Thread & Dingmans. Both are very pretty with nice flows in August.
The Visitor Center was ok. Mostly gift shop with some small displays thrown in.
A volunteer was eager to give me hiking advice, but my husband is mobility challenged & the hike we took was all he was able to do.
Apparently parking is a big issue at the falls hikes. Get there early to do the one you want.
We drove down the road for a while. The views of the river are sparse. People want to drive much faster than the posted speed limit. The scenery was pleasant, but not outstanding.
We found Eshback access & finally got to look at the river. This is a boat launch, so we didn't stay long.
We were done after that & drove back the way we came.
Day 2 - stayed on the New Jersey side & did Old Mine Road from the North down to Millbrook Village. We couldn't do the south end due to a paving project that lasted all summer.
If I had more time I would do a couple more hikes. If you don't have a boat or kayak or don't fish that's all you would be doing anyway. I would check out more things on the South end of the park that I missed this time.
The 3 stars are basically for all the things that are CLOSED! They might have allowed me more time to spend in the park had they been open.
The 3 scenic lookouts on PA 611 - CLOSED (the whole road is closed due to a landslide & apparently that's pissing local people off).
Kittatinny Visitor Center - CLOSED
Park Headquarters - CLOSED
This has been going on for years apparently. Wow.
翻译:我们在新泽西州那边露营,所以从北边开车过来。
第 1 天 - 我们在丁曼瀑布游客中心停留。由于我们到的很早,所以游客中心还没有开放。我们进行了一次非常容易到达的徒步旅行。我们可以看到 2 个瀑布 - Silver Thread 和 Dingmans。8 月份,这两个瀑布都非常漂亮,水流很大。
游客中心还不错。主要是礼品店,还有一些小展示。
一位志愿者很愿意给我一些徒步旅行的建议,但我丈夫行动不便,我们参加的徒步旅行就是他能做的全部。
显然,停车是瀑布徒步旅行的一个大问题。早点到那里,做你想做的那一项。
我们沿着这条路开了一会儿。河景稀少。人们想开得比规定的限速快得多。风景宜人,但并不出众。
我们找到了 Eshback 入口,终于看到了这条河。这是一条下水道,所以我们没有待太久。
之后我们就结束了,然后沿着来时的路开车回去了。
第 2 天 - 留在新泽西州一侧,从北部沿着 Old Mine Road 一直走到 Millbrook Village。由于铺路工程持续了整个夏天,我们无法前往南端。
如果我有更多时间,我会再徒步几次。如果你没有船或皮划艇,或者不钓鱼,那你无论如何都会这样做。我会去看看公园南端更多我这次错过的东西。
3 颗星基本上是针对所有关闭的东西!如果它们开放,他们可能会让我有更多时间在公园里度过。
PA 611 上的 3 个风景瞭望台 - 关闭(整条路因山体滑坡而关闭,显然这激怒了当地人)。
Kittatinny 游客中心 - 关闭
公园总部 - 关闭
显然这已经持续了好几年了。哇。
