A few weeks ago, I posted some photos of two of the waterfalls (Deer Leap Falls and Fulmer Falls) Bill and I photographed in the Delaware Water Gap. Factory Falls is the third waterfall in the George W Childs Recreation Site of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It is also my favorite of the three.

My first view of Factory Falls was part of the lower falls and the section of Dingman’s Creek between Factory Falls and Fulmer Falls. It was an overcast misty morning when we visited Factory Falls – perfect conditions for photographing a waterfall.

As I climbed around the bank of the creek – I suddenly had a view of both the upper and lower falls. Wow!

Having spotted the upper falls – I headed up the trail and out onto the rocks to get a better view. It’s a short walk past the ruins of an old factory to get to the upper falls.

As I explored the rocks around the upper falls – I took one last set of photos of the falls – with the water heading over Factory Falls and down Dingman’s Creek.

We had a wonderful time photographing the waterfalls in the Delaware Water Gap. It’s only five hours from the Washington DC area – so I’m sure we’ll head back in the future for some more photographing. Perhaps even this fall – I suspect the area is wonderful when the leaves have changed color. 🙂
