About Milford, PA & the Delaware Water Gap Area

Milford, Pennsylvania sits at the edge of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, surrounded by forests, rivers, waterfalls, and small-town streets that have remained largely unchanged over time. It’s a place where a short walk can take you from historic architecture to quiet trailheads, and where the pace naturally slows.

The surrounding area extends beyond Milford itself, reaching into Dingmans Ferry, nearby Pennsylvania communities, and across the Delaware River into New Jersey. Together, these places form a connected region known for scenic drives, hiking trails, local shops, and independently owned restaurants—each offering something a little different, but all part of the same experience.
