Opposes all proposals to change designation of Delaware Water Gap from National Recreation Area to National Park and Preserve, including proposal from Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve Alliance.
This New Jersey Senate resolution opposes proposals to reclassify Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area as a National Park and Preserve, specifically targeting the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve Alliance's plan. It expresses concern that such a change would restrict recreational activities like hunting, harm local businesses in Sussex and Warren counties that rely on tourism, and potentially impact property rights through federal land acquisition. The resolution does not alter federal designations but formally states the state's position against the proposed boundary expansion and designation shift.
