Paddling near Callicoon, NY

Callicoon sits on the banks of the Delaware River in Sullivan County, at the edge of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor. The Delaware is the main draw here — a free-flowing river running 73.4 miles without a dam, making it one of the longest undammed rivers in the eastern United States. Kayaking, canoeing, and rafting are central to the area's identity, with a DEC launch point in Callicoon itself and outfitters operating along the corridor. Nearby still-water options include Lake Huntington and White Lake for flatwater paddling.
