New York State hits bottom
Narrowsburg - New York State has ceded any ownership to the Delaware River bottom within the lands included in the Hardenburg Patent of 1708.
This may sound like “So What?” to you unless you want to take your fishing pole and go wading along that portion of the river between Station Rock in Cochecton and Hancock. The courts are still trying to figure out if that kind of thing is still legal.
In announcing the recent decision via press release, the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) stressed that the States Office of General Services says its decision does not diminish “the publics right to navigate, fish and enjoy the Delaware River.”

However, UDC executive Director Bill Douglas said law suites in New York involving the Salmon River and in Pennsylvania involving the Lehigh River are testing the property rights vs. recreation uses.
Douglas said that the navigation rights - the right to travel a stream in a boat -- have been expanded over the years to include recreation. ”How far does that go? Officially, we’re not sure?” Douglas concluded.
The ruling does not apply to lands drawn for other royal patents along the Delaware River.
