Warren County Wanderings

Starting January 23, 2019

Chilly? A bit. But this red-tailed hawk spotted near Warren County's Delaware Water Gap by photographer Kent Sweigert doesn't shy away from being outdoors, and you might enjoy some crisp (very crisp) fresh air too, as you keep cabin fever at bay. Check out the Outdoors and Nature corner on Explore Warren's website to learn about public spaces where you can do some wandering, then the Where to Eat section for advice on where to warm up afterward! And read on for other activities to occupy you as you keep the winter blahs at bay. Happy Wanderings!
