Officials have
confirmed a 14-year-old boy drowned at Delaware Water Gap
National Recreation Area Sunday, the second drowning at the park this year.
It happened on the
New Jersey side of the Delaware River.
Officials say a teenage boy from Elizabeth was swimming near a small
picnic area when his family members saw him go under a little past 2 p.m. His
body was recovered an hour and a half later.
Park officials
suggest swimmers stay near shore, avoid the rapids and swim at lifeguarded
beaches.
