Paddling near Port Jervis, NY

Port Jervis sits at the junction of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in Orange County, where the Delaware and Neversink rivers meet. The Upper Delaware River is the marquee paddling destination here — a federally designated National Scenic and Recreational River running between the Pocono Mountains to the west and the Catskill Mountains to the east, with a mix of calm flatwater stretches and whitewater rapids that draw canoeists, kayakers, and rafters from across the region.
