Nine of the places involve rivers or lakes, and the other one involves views of them plus lots of frozen water in winter.

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.

Almost enough to make me homesick! They certainly picked correctly for #1. My father and I started doing rides through Letchworth State Park 2 or 3 times a year starting when I was about 14 in spring of '74 and ending in the fall of "89, a few months before he passed. Always a spring wildfire ride and fall foliage trip, and most years a mid summer trip. I also got the chance to paddle the Genesee River in the park with Dave & Carol Curtis, Dave & Beth Buckley and Harold Deal in '88. Brings back a lot of good memories.
