| The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway in New York roughly parallels
the Upper Delaware River from Port Jervis in Orange County to Hancock
in Delaware County, with the majority of the route being located in Sullivan
County. It is an area characterized by stunning scenery, a rich history,
communities both lively and quaint, and an abundance of recreational opportunities.
The Delaware River not only forms the scenic backdrop to this attractive
area, but also the historical backdrop to the communities and land patterns
of today. Views across the river to Pennsylvania emphasize the integral
role neighboring river communities across the border have played and continue
to play in life along the byway corridor. This tapestry of qualities—historic,
natural, scenic, recreational, and cultural—offers the visitor many ways
in which to explore and experience the area.
