Lumberland is a rustic town on the Delaware River that's characterized by dense forests and numerous lakes and reservoirs. Water recreation is a huge part of life here. The town is made up of four hamlets, including the centrally located Glen Spey. Housing styles and prices vary, with small ranch-style homes selling in the mid-$100,000s and contemporary builds fetching close to a million. Most properties are densely wooded, with several acres. State Route 97 follows the river and the Pennsylvania border to Port Jervis, where groceries and health care are available. Big-box stores can be found in Monticello, about 20 minutes away. The Outpost offers whitewater rafting and riverside camping, and canoeists and kayakers set off on the Rio Reservoir. The Mongaup River Trail is a popular hiking spot.
