About

The Pocono Environmental Education Center, known as PEEC, sits inside the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and is the National Park Service's education partner. It runs school trips, camps and weekend public programs, and it keeps six hiking trails open to everyone.

All six trails are loops that start and end on the PEEC campus. They range from the 0.2-mile Trail for Everyone, which is flat, has benches and is stroller friendly, to the 3.63-mile Ridgeline Trail. The 3.01-mile Tumbling Waters Trail has an overlook of the Delaware Valley and the Kittatinny Mountains, then switchbacks down to waterfalls.

When to go

The trails are open daily year-round, dawn to dusk. The main building and restrooms are open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except major holidays. The EcoZone exhibit room is mainly used by school groups, so check the public program calendar for when it opens to visitors.
