Beaverkill River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (324 words)
The Beaverkill River is a tributary of the East Branch Delaware River, approximately 44 mi (70 km) long, in the U.S. State of New York.
The river has been popular as a trout stream since the early 19th century, when it became one of the first resort destinations in the United States.
The subsequent depletion of the brook trout population by the 1850s led to an early conservation movement to preserve the river, including the introduction of hatcheries for brown trout.
