Special places in your section of the Kittatinny Ridge!

Local maps of the regions across the Kittatinny Ridge and corridor are now up on the web site!  These Kittatinny Regions maps highlight the unique natural, historic and recreational resources - the special places - connected to this 185-mile landscape that spans 12 counties at a more local scale.  Each region is referred to by a more local name for the Ridge or a defining geologic or cultural feature - from east to west they are: Delaware Water Gap, Lehigh Gap, Hawk Mountain and the Pinnacle, Swatara Gap, Susquehanna Water Gaps, Capital AreaNorth Mountain and The Tuscaroras*.

Each region of the Kittatinny Ridge has a number of dedicated conservation partners and local advocates working with the Kittatinny Coalition, communities connected to the Ridge and state and federal agencies to preserve and bring attention to this special landscape.

What makes the Kittatinny Ridge so special in your area?  Are your favorite spots on these maps?  Tell us about it via email or comment on this blog.  Swatara Gap is featured above.  Check out the web site to view the rest!
