Hawk's Nest / Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (NY-97)
NY-97 follows the Delaware River roughly 70 miles from Port Jervis to Hancock as the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway. The Hawk's Nest section just west of Port Jervis is a cliffside cut high above the river with classic stacked corners — a favorite filming location for car commercials — and it stays open year-round.
