Special photo editions:
The Dingmans Bridge is
located in what is considered to be a 50-year flood zone. Since
1955,
significant flooding had been rare, usually in winter when ice jams can form along the river.
History was changed forever as three major floods effected the Upper
Delaware River region in less than 3 years between 2004 and 2006.
Our photos and the story of
the 'Great Floods of 2005' can be viewed here

The story and our
slideshow(s) from the subsequent
'Delaware River Floods of 2006' are now archived here .
