Situated on the banks of the beautiful West Branch of the Delaware River, the West Branch Angler & Sportsman's Resort is located off NY Route 17 between the villages of Deposit and Hancock New York. We are within easy access from most all of the major metropolitan cities in the northeast.

"Perhaps the best trout fishery in the East is on the dam tailwaters of the Upper Delaware River System." - Fly Fish America

We are a fly fishing resort and shooting preserve, offering 26 luxury cabins on 200 acres of exquisite mountain scenery. With 3 miles of private catch and release water on the West Branch of the Delaware, you can choose to fish the river here at the resort, go on a guided river trip with one of our pro guides, fly fish our stocked trout and bass pond, shoot sporting clays or hunt our preserve. Our log cabins range from cozy studio size all the way up to luxury personified, with the multi-bedroom CEO's and Executive cabins sporting a host of amenities. Our accommodations blend in with the area's natural surroundings, and are designed to accommodate guests from the budget minded to those who desire the very best. From 1 person to 100, you will find our hospitality warm and welcoming. Our friendly management and staff are always ready to assist you during your stay with us.
