The land that now comprises Springside is part of the homelands of the Munsee Lenape, Indigenous peoples who have an enduring connection to this place.
6. GROUP GAP
Group Gap typifies the way Downing used the site’s existing rugged topography. He placed narrow trails between the knolls and through the hollows enhancing the wildness of the site particularly for those on foot. Take the footpath through the “gap” between the knolls and around the base of Rock Roost.
