The Story

Celebrating Over 30 Years of Outdoor Excellence - EST. 1991

West Branch Angler Resort's upscale log cabin accommodations are nestled in a sprawling 300-acre park-like setting along a 2-mile private section of the West Branch of the Delaware River. Known as the "Gateway to the Catskills", the surrounding mountain scenery and grounds are marvelous. With over 30 private cabin rentals, plush with amenities, you are sure to feel at home when staying with us. The River Run Restaurant is only a short walk from your cabin door, providing the perfect atmosphere for the end to an epic day. Whether you're fly fishing on the East's most productive wild trout fishery, or attending a one-of-a-kind event, it's no wonder why West Branch Angler Resort is known as the "Premier Outdoor Destination in the East", located only a few hours from the major metros in the northeast.

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.
