Horse Pond Mountain grass fire
Terrace Pond trails, Wawayanda
Just a heads up: the Terrace Pond Red, Terrace Pond South (yellow), and parts of the Terrace Pond North (blue) trails are getting overgrown and poorly marked again, despite a pretty decent amount of foot traffic. The yellow and red trails just south of Terrace Pond are particularly bad right now.

Delaware River within Park Closed Due to Rising Waters
Superintendent John J. Donahue announced today the entire Delaware River corridor within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, from Milford to Delaware Water Gap, is closed in anticipation of rising waters. All access points are also closed until further notice. Due to heavy precipitation throughout the region, the river is expected to rise from its present height of 5 feet, at the Montague gauge, to 19.8 feet by 2 a.m. Saturday morning. Flood stage at the Montague gauge is 25 feet.
At these heights, typical river conditions include large quantities of floating debris, very swift currents, decreased water temperatures and increased hydraulic hazards in rapids and near bridge pilings, as well as increased hazards along the shore.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the region, beginning at 8 a.m. today and continuing through late this evening. The flood watch means there is potential for flooding on the river, small creeks or streams, and in areas with poor drainage.
Park rangers are closely monitoring the weekend weather and river forecasts and are making preparations to close additional facilities and roads, if necessary.
Information on closures will also be posted on the park website: www.nps.gov/dewa.
