The hikers got "turned around" but were found where they were expected to be.
A group of hikers who got lost at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area were walked to safety Thursday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service said.
Emergency dispatches said there were three hikers lost in northern Warren County, but spokeswoman Kathleen Sandt couldn't immediately confirm the number.

The hikers got "turned around," but they were found exactly where rangers figured they'd be in Hardwick Township, Sandt said.
"Everybody's OK," she said.
Initial calls said the hikers were on the side of a mountain in Worthington State Forest, which is a New Jersey state park.
"It's kind of a patchwork" of federal and state lands at the southern end of the recreation area in New Jersey, Sandt said. The state forest is entirely within the footprint of the national park, she said.
But the hikers were found on federal land, she said.
