Where the Waterfalls Are
Gladstone sits in or near the Kittatinny Ridge and Delaware Valley area of New Jersey. In the state's rural northwest corner, the Kittatinny Ridge and the valleys of the Delaware River offer a wilder setting. Tillman Falls in Sussex County lies within Tillman Ravine, a shaded gorge in Stokes State Forest where a brook drops through hemlocks and slate. Warren County adds Bass Lake Falls and Foul Rift Falls, the latter on the Delaware River near Belvidere, where a band of resistant rock creates rapids. Nearby Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area extends along the river, and the region as a whole has a quieter, more forested character than the rest of the state.
