The Delaware Water Gap from the Appalachian Trail (I-80 on the left) The Delaware Water Gap is a water gap on the border of the U.S. states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania where the Delaware River cuts through a large ridge of the Appalachian Mountains.
Washington kept almost all of the details of the crossing a secret; as a result, none of the soldiers knew anything about their upcoming mission. Washingtonâs crossing of the Delaware River on December 25, 1776 allowed his army to strike the Hessians at Trenton the next morning. Washington's plan was to cross the river at night, march to the nearby town of Trenton, New Jersey, and attack the Hessian garrison right before dawn.
