Canoe through rapids and quiet pools as the Delaware River winds its way through a valley of swiftly changing scenery or fish amid rolling hills and riverfront villages in one of the finest fishing rivers in the northeastern United States. The clean water of the Delaware, the last major undammed river in the eastern United States, supports a healthy ecosystem and offers tranquility and excitement.
The Delaware River is a great place to enjoy a variety of recreational activities such as rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. However, it is important to not only have fun but also stay safe while you are out on the water. River obstacles, deceptively fast currents, steep drop-offs, and year-round cold-water temperatures are just a few things that can catch unprepared river users by surprise. We strongly recommend anyone interested in going on or in the river to watch this safety video beforehand.
The biological diversity coupled with the low levels of pollution contribute to the high quality of life and scenic value of the valley.
