"Paddlers' Guide to the Delaware River" gives outdoor enthusiasts a great map to find paddling spots.

Paddlers of all ages and experience levels can register for the 28th Delaware River Sojourn, which takes place from June 17 – 23.  Participants may sign up for the entire trip or for the day(s) of their choice.

The Delaware River Sojourn combines guided paddling excursions, educational programs, camping and camaraderie.  Geared for everyone, the Sojourn helps people learn about and appreciate the Delaware River first-hand, creating stewards of this important natural resource.  

“The Sojourn theme this year is Running Free, highlighting the un-dammed nature of the mainstem river,” said Mark Zakutansky, Director of Conservation Policy Engagement for the Appalachian Mountain Club and Chair of the Sojourn Steering Committee.  “From migratory fish to dam removals to aquatic invasive species, sojourn programming will focus on the history and unique habitat of a free-flowing Delaware River.”

The Sojourn will paddle the following stretches:

  • June 17 – Hancock (N.Y.) to Buckingham Access
  • June 18 – Buckingham Access to NEWE Camp
  • June 19 – NEWE Camp to Callicoon
