Upper Delaware & Narrowsburg
Escape to the Upper Delaware River Valley for a day of mountain hiking, river adventure, and small-town charm. This itinerary combines scenic overlooks, paddling on the Delaware, and the vibrant dining and arts scene of Narrowsburg.

Spend the day exploring the scenic beauty and laid-back charm of Narrowsburg, New York, one of the most picturesque towns along the Upper Delaware River. Begin your morning with a hike on the Tusten Mountain Trail, a rewarding woodland trek that climbs through mature forests to several scenic overlooks above the Delaware River Valley. The trail offers a moderate challenge and spectacular views of the river, surrounding mountains, and the protected landscapes that make this region a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
After your hike, head to the Delaware River for a relaxing canoe, kayak, or tubing adventure. Several local outfitters provide river trips that allow visitors to experience the Upper Delaware's clear waters, abundant wildlife, and stunning scenery from a unique perspective. Keep an eye out for bald eagles soaring overhead as you float through one of the Northeast's most beautiful river corridors.
Following your river excursion, return to downtown Narrowsburg for lunch or dinner. Enjoy a meal overlooking the river at The Laundrette, or choose from other local favorites such as The Heron, Tusten Cup, or one of the town's inviting cafés and restaurants. Afterward, stroll along Main Street to browse art galleries, boutiques, and specialty shops that reflect Narrowsburg's thriving creative culture and small-town character.
Before departing, take time to enjoy the views from the Narrowsburg Bridge and the Delaware River overlook, where the river curves dramatically through the valley below. The combination of mountain vistas, river recreation, and charming downtown atmosphere makes Narrowsburg a perfect escape for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
