The Upper Delaware River forms the border between New York and Pennsylvania and a number of access points along the river are available allowing paddlers to select a section of interest. The Upper Delaware is a federal Wild and Scenic River managed by the National Park Service. In fact it was one of the original 27 rivers designated for study with the passage of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act in 1968 and was ultimately added to the system in 1978. NPS maintains a website that includes information on outfitters who provide canoe and tube rentals along with shuttle service. Reservoirs upstream provide water to New York City but along the mainstem the river flows freely as one of the few undammed rivers in the Northeast with excellent canoeing and fishing opportunities. In fact the combination of proximity to major population centers, consistent flows, and high water quality make this one of the finest canoe trips in the Northeast and one of the most popular canoe rivers in the country. The National Park Service has a mandatory PFD wear policy when the river is 6' or higher at the gage. This includes Boating, Swimming, Wading or any other entry into the water.
