Bushkill
is an unincorporated community located in Pike County in the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania. Portions of the community were taken during the Tocks Island dam project and are now part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The Bushkill Falls, called the "Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania" is one of the state's most well-known and most scenic tourist attractions. The falls has a series of eight waterfalls, nestled deep in the Pocono Mountains. It's accessible through a network of hiking trails and bridges which offer spectacular views of the 100-foot main falls and the surrounding forest. Other attractions at Bushkill Falls include the Pennsylvania Wildlife Exhibit, Native American Exhibit, Twin Lakes, a variety of gift shops, paddle-boat rides and miniature golf. Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area encompasses 70,000 acres of land. It includes a designated 40-mile run of the Middle Delaware National Scenic River. The recreation area of the park runs from the northeastern outskirts of the town of Milford, roughly south to near Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania. The Appalachian Trail runs along the eastern boundary of the park. Activities include hiking, canoeing, swimming, biking, horseback riding, camping, and cross-country skiing. The park is also home to significant Native American archaeological sites, and a number of structures remain from early Dutch settlements.
