Supports keeping Delaware Water Gap a recreation area, protecting outdoor activities
This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally state its support for keeping the Delaware Water Gap as a national recreation area. This means visitors and local communities could continue to enjoy activities like hunting and fishing, and local partnerships would be protected. It also says no federal money should be used to change its status to a national park and preserve.
Today, the Delaware Water Gap is a national recreation area encompassing nearly 70,000 acres, offering various recreational activities and managed with local cooperation. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally express its support for keeping this designation and state that no funds should be used to change it, aiming to protect current access and local partnerships.
