Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River
National Scenic And Recreational River · Beach Lake, Pennsylvania
Seventy-three miles of the Delaware forming the border between Pennsylvania and New York, protected in 1978 as one of the least developed long river corridors in the north-east. Almost all the land along it is privately owned and the National Park Service manages the water rather than the banks, which is why it feels less like a park than a working valley with a very good river running through it. It carries the oldest existing wire suspension bridge in the United States, built by John Roebling thirty-five years before the Brooklyn Bridge.
