Located on NY-NJ border, to see the scenic drive you have to go from NY down to NJ direction. If not you will be inside of road and not good idea to U-turn on 2 lanes path. The section is not long but very good view to see Delaware river, specially, on late FALL with changed color leafs. Beautiful place to visit but drive carefully. The right side (river side) road side parking space is limited. P.S. less than 30 mins drive from High Point State Park, NJ worth to visit together.…

On a nice day, it's a lovely drive with very nice scenery.…

This was our first time to the Upper area of the Delaware and it was just as beautiful as we had hoped. A little bit different from other areas as it has some areas that go down to depths of over 100+ feet, make sure to wear your life vests! The scenic drive on the way into the area is only about 15 or so minutes longer than the non-scenic way in... make sure to invest in those extra few minutes and also take the time to pull over to look at the river from the "rest area parking". Happy travels!…

We alweays take out-of-town company here. The bridge is interesting history; fun to walk (also walk the short trail along the river on the NY side) and of course eagle watching is always the highlight.
