This property is located in the widest part of the East Branch of the Delaware River -- a part that "has no public access at all and is one of the least fished sections in the entire Upper Delaware system." (See the FLY-FISHING GUIDE TO THE UPPER DELAWARE RIVER, second edition, p. 88, by Paul Weamer.) The water is crystal clear. There has been no industrial pollution in several decades. The host has been named The River Keeper by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy by virtue of his relentless campaign to remove tires and trash from the river and adjoining uplands. The river bottom offshore is privately owned and encompasses two islands -- containing an additional 1400 feet of shorelines -- plus the river's longest & deepest pool, known by us as the "Pike Pool." It is known by local drift guides as the "Pig Pen" because of the large fish there. Guests can easily access 100% of the Pike Pool from the Beach Trail, a 1500-foot-long private path that runs along the shoreline. Trout, Bass, Pike and Shad. Kayaks can be launched from public parking nine river-miles upstream. Inner tubes can be floated from this property to public parking located almost a mile downstream. The owner lives about one mile from this property and will be available 24/7 for assistance. Please note that this property is not located on the crowded West Branch of the Delaware River where fishermen often have to worry about bumping into other waders while dodging drift boats, as described in an article published by the River Reporter on August 27, 2020. One of our guests said that this property is like a private fishing resort.
