Narrowsburg Pool  

Did You Know?
The Delaware River’s deepest point is in Narrowsburg, New York, at an astounding 113 feet deep. It was once thought to be a long - drowned “plunge pool”, from a glacial waterfall or possibly even a pothole scoured out by erosion with the smooth rocks at the bottom being the tools that did the job.
