The Delaware River Highlands in which Milford is almost at the center, has lots to see and do. Harrington House keeps a great deal of information but you may want to explore some of these web sites to get an idea of all there is to do and see. Milford is destination within a region of destinations
Named, literally, for the "high land" on either side of the Delaware River, the region is densely forested and features many waterfalls, as every stream flowing into the Delaware River must cut through the escarpment on either side of the river. A number of large parcels of state and federal property, including two large National Park Service properties, the 69,000 acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the 75,000 acre Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
A wide range of outdoor recreational activities--including eagle and bird watching, hiking, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, fishing, camping and boating--brings visitors from all over the world to this remarkable river valley. Along the shores of the river are a number of historic villages, hamlets and towns, many of which offer great antiquing, shopping, country markets, historic inns and Bed and Breakfasts, and other attractions.
