10 Most Beautiful Places in Upstate New York

Certainly that's an admirable list but they missed the entire Upper Delaware River basin from Hancock, NY all the way down to Port Jervis. It's the river I grew up on for all intents and purposes, spending endless summer days swimming, fishing and paddling on various stretches up & downstream from Narrowsburg; site of the deepest pool in the entire river. Paddling the rapids at Skinners Falls for the first time was a rite of passage for many; myself included. On the old river rating system it was a Class V but in today's world, it would be rated a Class II. Regardless, it gave many kids a real thrill and opened up the world of river paddling to new eyes. Even today, the Delaware is a place where many paddle and camp for the first time. It's still a first class river; one that is accessible to all.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
