Boating

Canoeing & Kayaking

The East and West Branches of the Delaware River, the reservoir system, and numerous ponds of all sizes, offer spectacular opportunities for kayak and canoe enthusiasts set in magnificent mountain landscapes. At Old Town Canoes just south of Roxbury in Halcottsville, you can rent a kayak or canoe and get a lesson too.

For more ideas of where to access the county's waterways, ponds and reservoirs, or to rent a kayak, canoe or rowboat, visit the Delaware County Chamber's guide to boating and the Catskill Mountain Club's "Where to go" page, which includes descriptions of great places to canoe and kayak.

For boating on the reservoirs, you'll need to visit the DEP's site for information on how to obtain permission and a boat tag:
