This area falls within five counties, three in Pennsylvania (Northampton, Monroe, and Pike) and two in New Jersey (Warren and Sussex). Since the area is so large we would recommend that you start your visit at one of our visitors centers (see the Facilities link). No public transportation is available within the recreation area.
