Recreation
The Upper Delaware River is a National Scenic Waterway under the National Park Service and is a spectacular place to canoe and kayak as well as fish. In Hancock is an outfitter that rents kayaks and canoes and picks you up down river for a day of floating the river. Eagles, deer, an array of birds and ducks and beaver abound. The fishery is world class as well. Outdoor Adventure Recreational Services (OARS) | 41 South Pennsylvania Ave | Hancock, NY 13783 | 607.237.3078

We highly recommend fishing for wild trout in the Upper Delaware River system that includes the East Branchand West Branch of the Delaware River as well as the renowned Beaverkill River, the birthplace of American fly fishing. Roscoe, NY is home to a number of fly fishing shops that can provide gear and guides to make your experience worthwhile. Floating the rivers in a drift boat is a popular way to fish for the novice and experienced fishers alike. One of my better wild rainbow catch and release fish on the Upper Delaware locally called the "Main Stem".

Plattekill Mountain is a must for ski enthusiasts who want to be transported back in time for how skiing was in the 50's and 60's. It is small but huge in ambiance, has a challenging vertical drop, an awesome inner tube slope and a cozy lodge where you might just want to spend an afternoon at the bar next to a wood burning stove sampling local beers and eating comfort food. It is about a hour away from Beaverkill Manor.
