About Bear Spring Realty

Away from the city's noise and set in the western slopes of the Catskill Mountains is a land of wooded hills and fertile green valleys, of over 700 miles of fishing streams, of covered bridges, welcoming people and beautiful vistas. This is Delaware County, Mother Nature's home in Upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Delaware County also became a rural retreat for urban tourists from New York City as railroads brought guests to local boarding houses. Vacation resorts began to develop as clean air, fresh food and beautiful vistas lured city dwellers. The visitors and artists who traveled throughout the Catskills introduced urban tastes and culture and began a phenomenon that blended long-standing practices and assimilated styles, which continues today.

With thousands of acres of public land and a wide variety of game habitats, Delaware County is a sportsman's paradise. Whether your enthusiasm is fly-fishing, bass fishing or hunting, Delaware County has what you're after. American fly-fishing was born in the Catskills. The West and East branches of the Delaware River are two of the area's premier trout streams, along with the World Famous Beaverkill and Willowemock rivers. The Pepacton and Cannonsville Reservoirs of the New York City water supply are among bass and trout fishing's best kept secrets. If hunting is your sport, Delaware County of Upstate New York offers the best game around: bear, deer, turkey, squirrel, rabbits, game birds and everything in between.
