The northern terminus of the river below Hancock, NY is accessed via NY Route 17 (future I-86) to NY Route 97 and PA Route 191. Middle sections of the river may be reached by a variety of state, county, and local roads. Please refer to the map on the reverse side.
Quick Facts
Governor George Pataki officially designated the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway as a component of the New York State Scenic Byways System on August 6, 2002. The legislation’s approval came after a grassroots process which began in February 2000 when individuals representing communities along Route 97 formed a committee in partnership with non-profit organizations and governmental agencies in the Upper Delaware River Valley to work on an application to the state. Funding was obtained to hire professional consultants to help draft the Enhancement Concept presented to the New York State Scenic Byways Advisory Board. Copies of that plan outlining goals and objectives are available.
The vision of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway is to “highlight what is already an exceptional feature of the region’s appeal to residents and visitors alike’ the highway itself. The most significant and attractive aspects of the byway will continue to be its spectacular highway vistas, access to the Delaware River and its resources, and the uniqueness of the communities along the byway.”
