First exit off the Delaware Water Gap. If using Ezpass, use the inside lanes, the exit is right past the toll. Easy off and on I-80, with clean bathrooms and a couple vending machines. You'll find a bunch of info pamphlets here as well, maybe some coupons in there. There is an area to walk dogs, as well as park trucks.Update since last visit: air pump out of order. Took a walk on the rooftop garden, lots of bees and flowers. Pretty serene considering the highway is roaring by next to you.

A good friend of mine and I went on a day trip to Pennsylvania on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. We stopped here to get our bearings and freshen up. I found the men's bathroom clean and well-stocked and was very impressed with the number of free brochures and a nice selection and variety of vending machine items, not to mention various displays. The person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, as well.

A nice welcome center. The bathrooms are large and clean. There's some free maps to be had, and quite a bit of interesting information on the walls about the Delaware River Water Gap.

I was like a kid in a toy store, so many brochures on things to do in and around the area. The building is beautiful. Everyone was amazing. I want to give a shout out to Elena to continue to be the beautiful soul you are, my love. I appreciate you♥️Namaste

Always clean restrooms. We stop frequently when seeing family in NY. Nice have way point. 50% of the stalls are out of order but not very busy so doesn't matter to us.

Very clean! A great place to stop for information about Pa and for a bathroom break. The workers are friendly and ready to answer any questions. Everything has been updated to accommodate Covid19 safety. There are also vending machines for coffee, water, soda and snacks. The area is big so social distancing is not a problem at all!! If you are looking for a bathroom break, snack or coffee break or information on any area of Pennsylvania this is definitely a place to stop. Plenty of parking and disabled friendly for parking and indoors, too!

This is a really nice rest stop on the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border, right by the Delaware Water Gap. It's really clean and has several vending machines if you need snacks or drinks. It's also very well lit and has a dog park if your furry friend needs to run around.

Apparently a penndot worker decided that I had spent too much time at the charging station over the course of two days and turned off the power to the outlets. 45 years of paying taxes is circumvented by the decision of someone not authorized to do so. I broke no laws or terms of service. Any vote that continues funding to penndot should take this behavior into consideration.

I love Pennsylvania. No matter what town I've been in I enjoy the area. I was near the Delaware Water Gap in East Stroudsburg. The mountains, trees, leaves and the streams of water are so beautiful.

Surprisingly scenic view! Not a lot here in the building besides bathrooms, vending machine and some brochures. But still, nice scenery with wildflowers.

This is such a nice rest area/welcome center! I love the décor style of this rest area, even though to some it may seem outdated. I personally think this has a wonderfully distinctive character! My only suggestion is that the awnings above the rooftop terrace could use cleaned.

It would be nice if there were safety signs such as hazard warning lights on the winding roads.

We love stopping here at the bottom of the Delaware water Gap to ride all the way north to Milford Pennsylvania. The welcome center always is clean and provides restrooms before the big trip.
