The Dingmans Falls Visitor Center is a National Park Service facility located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It acts as a hub for visitors seeking to explore the stunning natural landscapes, most notably Dingmans Falls and Silverthread Falls. The area around Dingmans Falls has been a tourist destination for centuries, attracting visitors with its shaded hemlock and rhododendron forests and the impressive waterfalls. The visitor center offers a range of services and amenities, including a ranger-staffed information desk, park passes, maps, brochures, and educational exhibits. Knowledgeable rangers and volunteers are available to answer questions and provide insights into the area's geology, wildlife, and history. A bookstore operated by America's National Parks offers souvenirs and educational materials. The Dingmans Creek Trail, which begins at the visitor center, is an easy, ADA-accessible boardwalk that leads to both Silverthread Falls and Dingmans Falls. Silverthread Falls is an 80-foot ribbon of water cascading through a narrow chute. A short distance further along the boardwalk is Dingmans Falls, a majestic 130-foot waterfall. Visitors can view the falls from a platform at the base or climb a staircase to an upper viewing area. Ranger programs are available to educate visitors about the ecological, geological, and historical aspects of the area.
