Port Jervis and Delaware River: Things to Do
Port Jervis, New York, offers several ways to explore its riverfront and nearby open land. You can visit the Delaware River beach access, choose hiking or biking trails, walk a short canal trail, or see a marker at a three-state meeting point.
What to see or do
The city has riverfront beach access to the Delaware River and 2,400 acres of undeveloped land with hiking and biking trails. These options give you a choice between time by the river and exploring trails. For more detail on outdoor activities, see Port Jervis outdoor options.
For a shorter walk, the D&H Canal trail runs one mile out and one mile back; it is not a loop. Along the way, walkers can see some of the remaining traces of the D&H Canal, which once ran through the heart of Port Jervis. Plan for the same route back to your starting point.
Laurel Grove Cemetery has a monument rock at its southernmost tip marking where New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania meet. It offers a distinct place to visit alongside the riverfront and trails.
