Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River

The Delaware River flows for 73 miles through valleys and forested hills, forming a natural border between New York and Pennsylvania states.

Native American tribes inhabited the river banks before European settlers arrived, using the waterway for transportation, fishing, and establishing trade routes.

Many local communities maintain connections to their heritage through museums and education centers that document the river's influence on regional development.

The National Park Service maintains multiple access points along the river for activities such as canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and hiking throughout the year.

The Delaware River represents the last major undammed river system in the eastern United States, supporting diverse fish populations and ecological systems.
