George W. Childs Park
A wooded park upstream on Dingmans Creek, where a loop trail links three waterfalls and stone ruins. It is ideal for an easy picnic and stroll.
George W. Childs Park lies within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and was donated by George W. Childs, a 19th-century Philadelphia publisher. The roughly 2 km loop follows Dingmans Creek past three waterfalls: Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, and Deer Leap Falls. Along the way are wooden footbridges, stone walls of an old mill, and picnic areas. The loop takes about an hour. Admission is free. The park is about 3 km from the Dingmans Falls visitor center and can be visited on the way. Trails may close in winter.
