The day was still young after geocaching at Shohola Creek and the weather was perfect for a motorcycle ride. We headed up Route 507 from Greentown to pick up Route 6 through Hawley and then toward Honesdale where we picked up Route 652 and over the bridge to Narrowsburg, New York where we intercepted Route 97. Route 97 goes south to Port Jervis, New York where we crossed back over the Delaware River to Milford, Pennsylvania and back to the lake. The view along Route 97 is really great. As usual, my poor photographic skills don’t do justice to the scenery, but here are a few pictures.
There were many rafters floating down the river. The Upper Delaware River is part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Over 35 million people live within a 150-mile radius of the Upper Delaware River, which includes 73 miles of the longest and one of the cleanest undammed rivers in the eastern United States. The river’s watershed is a major source of drinking water for more than 10 percent of the United Sates population.
