Notes: Durham Furnace
and Narrowsville offer some nice views of the Delaware, but if the river
is high, access may be difficult. Ringing Rocks offers a nice waterfall
and some interesting geological formations in addition to the popular
oddity of the field of ringing rocks. Bring a hammer if you'd like to
hear for yourself, and rugged footwear is suggested. Some moderate climbing
is required to get to the base of the waterfall.
