With a history entwined around the D&H Canal, which opened in 1828 and ran for 60 years, Highland (named as such for its elevation over the Delaware River) ferried timber from here to Philadelphia for ship building until the mid-1800s. Highland includes only four hamlets: Barryville, Eldred, Highland Lake and Yulan. Where do we go from here? From Highland, head to these other towns and their hamlets. Easy direct driving routes. Ask your GPS or get out your map. Bethel: Woodst

If heights is not your thing, perhaps you’d prefer to get your jollies rushing down the Delaware River in a canoe, kayak, inner tube or river raft?

Other hamlets to explore when you can pull yourself away include Beaver Brook, Hunts Corner, Lava, Neweiden and Tusten. Where do we go from here?
