The Delaware Water Gap is a narrow notch cut through the Kittatinny Ridge where the Delaware River forces its way between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and this view lands on the Lenape name for the river that runs through it. The river was called Lenapewihittuk, the "river of the Lenape," by the people whose homeland the gap sat within for generations before European settlement. Its steep wooded walls and calm stretches of water drew travelers, artists and, later, vacationers who came to see the scenery up close. The gap has since been protected as part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, so the landscape still looks much as it did to those early visitors.
