Narrowsburg is a small town situated on the Delaware River in the area between the Catskill and Pocono Mountains. Centered in the Upper Delaware River corridor, it is surrounded by rolling hills, forests and many lakes. It overlooks the Big Eddy, a popular fishing spot and the deepest point in the Delaware River. It also overlooks the Narrowsburg Bridge, which crosses the river at its most narrow point (hence the name Narrowsburg).

Narrowsburg and the Town of Tusten, in which it is located, has historically been a bustling place with strong ties to the outdoors. At one time thousands of logs tied together in rafts traveled down the Delaware to cities below, and raftsmen would "dock" their rafts in the Big Eddy and stay in town overnight. Before the decline of the railroad, city folks would board the train and spend their summers at inns and boarding houses in the area, swapping heat and dirt for fresh air and hearty country cooking.
