The economy of Milford, Pike County PA will be adversely affected by the decision of the NPS to close Milford Beach, in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Our town depends on visitors to the park and its recreational amenities like the beach, picnic area, boat launch, canoe access, and the trailhead for the McDade Recreational Trail. Milford is within easy reach of the New York Greater Metropolitan area and a destination for day trips. Revenue and job loss to the local economy will far exceed the few hundred thousand dollars the park claims it will save, in addition to cuts to their local staff. Please sign this petition and help save Milford's identity as a gateway to nature by protecting the basic right to access a National park that is supported by our tax dollars.
