West
Just far enough off the beaten track!
The outdoor life is at its best in the towns of Franklin, Treadwell, Sidney, Masonville, Trout Creek, Walton, and Hamden. There are three state parks located in the area of the county - the Oquaga Creek State Park, the Masonville State Forest Parks, and theEast Sidney Lake Recreation Area. Water abounds with the west branch of the Delaware River and, on the northern boundary, the Susquehanna River. The Cannonsville Reservoir sits on the southern edge and is open to the public for non-motorized boating from Memorial weekend to Columbus weekend. View the brochure for rules, permits requried, and access points. Water brings birds of all feathers, even eagles so check in with the Otsego-Delaware Audubon Society and their sanctuary on Franklin Mountain.
These are the roads less traveled, so take one just to see where it leads you. . Stretch your legs at theNature Conservatory's West Branch Preserve outside of Hamden, pick up some local maple syrup at the general store, or a great meal at the inn. In winter snowmobilers take full advantage of all the state lands and trails. We’ve got the best chicken BBQ in the region, and you’ll find them grilling away at fairs and festivals all season long, but especially at the Delaware County Fair in August.
