Location

The Rock House is located midway between the Delaware River and Bevans Post Office. Proceed and about 200 yards east on a woods trail to an eastward-facing rock ledge. There are three rock shelters in this ledge. The trail leads directly to the largest, the so-called Bevans Rock House. One hundred yards north of the Rock House is the shelter known as "The Indian Cave," and 50 yards south of the Rock House is another smaller shelter. Source : * RICHARD F.
