Delaware Water Gap Bridge on Interstate 80, Hardwick Township, NJ

Frozen Delaware River

The Delaware River looking solid on January 14th, 2018. A very cold winter, the recent cold saw a thaw on Thursday with temperatures rising up to 64 degrees before plummeting back down below freezing. Not sure if it would be safe to walk on and as a general rule I would suggest never to walk on frozen water in NJ just as a matter of course, but I couldn't help but to think if it had been this cold during the American Revolution if perhaps Washington could've walked across the Delaware with cannons?

 Putting the gap in the Delaware Water Gap. First stopping at the scenic overlook off of I-80 West in Columbia, NJ, then proceeding to the Dunnfield Creek parking lot for Worthington State Forest which is actually just over the Knowlton Township line in Hardwick Township. On the NJ side the ‘gap’ features Mount Tammany. Trails which are part of the Apalachain Trail system will take the adventuresome to the summit.

The obligatory picture of standing in three states at once

Here are the pictures taken at the tri-state monument delineating the state line between NY, NJ and PA. It is NJ’s northernmost point, the ‘northwest corner’ - It is not a geographic extremity of either PA or NY. It lies, basically at the confluence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River in the shadow of I-84.

This spot holds the most interest for people who reside in NJ. Interestingly to access this point, the only real way to get there is to cross into NY, cross the Neversink River and go through the Laurel Grove Cemetery, park the car and walk to the monument.

If you try to reconcile this point with google maps, this point doesn't quite look to be the actual northernmost point, at that point, the true question is which source is more credible!?! Nevertheless, right or wrong, this monument is close enough.

As an asidem Interstate 84 does not actually touch New Jersey, it does not clip the state line one iota.
