Video of Paddling the Poconos Elderhostel in Delaware Water Gap

This Elderhostel (now called Exploritas) program is an active outdoor paddling program hosted by the Shawnee Institute and held at The Shawnee Inn on the banks of the Delaware River located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Pennsylvania's lovely Pocono Mountains. The Inn is located a few miles north of I-80 in Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pennsylvania. For 40 miles, the Delaware River flows between lushly forested low mountains until the river makes a tight "S" curve. Over the eons, it forced itself through the ridge at Kittatinny Mountain forming the eponymous Delaware Water Gap. The Delaware River is being preserved as a wild and scenic river, uninterrupted by dams, and the river serves as the boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.



Here's the entire post I made for this Elderhostel program.
