Visiting the Wedding of the Water

The Delaware River begins as two branches, before converging into the main river and continuing 282 miles to Delaware Bay.

The West Branch begins in Schoharie County and flows down into Delaware County, passing the Cannonsville Reservoir before paralleling Route 17. The East Branch runs from Delaware County through the Pepacton Reservoir before convergence.

The “Wedding of the Water”, the convergence of the east and west branches of the Delaware River is near Hancock, NY.

The closest view that is easily accessible by car is the New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservations Junction Pool…which is a small area with picnic tables popular with fly fisherman because of its relatively safe position to wade into the river.

In fact, I saw several people doing just that.
