The Neversink's main flow begins just south of the border between Ulster and Sullivan Counties , near the Hamlet of Claryville . Both the east and west branches begin on the slopes of Slide Mountain , the highest peak in the Catskills . It flows generally south through the mountains, past Woodbourne and into western Orange County . At Otisville it is joined from the northeast by Basher Kill , then flows southwest, joining the Delaware at Port Jervis , at Tristate Rock, where New York, New Jersey , and Pennsylvania converge underneath the Interstate 84 bridge. In its upper course near Neversink , it is impounded to form the Neversink Reservoir . It is connected by a 5-mile (8 km) water tunnel to Rondout Reservoir , and subsequently to the Delaware Aqueduct . Along much of its length it is a popular Trout stream. It was formerly crossed by the Delaware & Hudson Canal at Cuddebackville by an early Aqueduct bridge designed by John Roebling and built in 1851 . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
