Driftstone offers trips on the Delaware\u00a0as far as\u00a0Smithfield Beach which is 14 miles north, however the total length of the Delaware is actually 330 miles. \u00a0The river flows through four states, beginning in New York, through Pennsylvania, followed by New Jersey, and completing its flow in Delaware where it joins the Atlantic Ocean. \u00a0There are 10 main tributaries which contribute to its flow, they are: \u00a0Monagup River (NY), Neversink River (NY), Callicoon Creek (NY), Lackawaxen River (PA), Lehigh River (PA) and Schuylkill River (PA), Musconetcong Creek (NJ), Rancocas Creek (NJ), Cooper River (NJ) and Maurice River (NJ). \u00a0The river is\u00a0divided into three major sections, the Uplands which begins at the Catskills and ends at\u00a0 Delaware Water Gap, the Piedmont which runs the entire length of Delaware Water Gap through the Kittatiny Ridge, and the Estuary, the final section which flows from Trenton Falls to Cape Henlopen, Delaware.<\/p>\n
