There are many ways to enjoy the river, which is the longest un-dammed river east of the Mississippi. Anglers have found many a special pool in which to cast flies and minnows.
Swimmers luxuriate in the cool, clean feel of the river s currents on a warm day.
And boaters can journey along its bucolic shores, gaining a thrill now and then from the patches of white water. The Delaware River Sojourn, this year titled 2001 A River Odyssey, is an annual event whose purpose is to heighten awareness of, and appreciation for, the Delaware. This year s sojourn will take place June 15 through June 23. The eight-day trip covers over 70 miles, combining canoeing, camping and educational programs. The sojourn will begin at Hankins, New York, in the Catskill Mountains, and end on New Jersey s Maurice River, a tributary to the Delaware Bay.
