The Delaware River's deepest point is at Narrowsburg, N.Y., in the Town of Tusten, where the Big Eddy Narrows reaches 113 feet deep.

On June 5, the Delaware River Basin Commission will gather in Narrowsburg to "go deep" for its second-quarter business meeting and wraparound programming celebrating the nature and communities of the Upper Delaware in New York.

Please join the Delaware River Basin Commission, our Commission staff, community organizations, government partners and other invited guests for a day of programming free and open to the public.
