==Tributaries== The main [[tributary|tributaries]] in New York are the [[Mongaup River|Mongaup]] and [[Neversink River|Neversink]] rivers and [[Callicoon Creek]]. From Pennsylvania, the major tributaries are the [[Lackawaxen River|Lackawaxen]], [[Lehigh River|Lehigh]], and [[Schuylkill River|Schuylkill]] rivers. From New Jersey, the Big Flatbrook, [[Pequest River|Pequest]], [[Musconetcong River|Musconetcong]], and [[Maurice River|Maurice]] rivers, plus [[Oldmans Creek|Oldmans]], [[Raccoon Creek (New Jersey)|Raccoon]] and [[Rancocas Creek|Rancocas]] creeks, flow into the Delaware.
Tributaries are arranged generally north to south from the source of the river to its mouth, its confluence with the Delaware River, tributaries within that rivers' watershed are mentioned in notes.

==Tributaries of Delaware Bay== [[File:Delawarebaymodis.jpg|thumb|right|A satellite image of Delaware Bay, January 2011]] [[Delaware Bay]] is a major [[estuary]] outlet of the [[Delaware River]] on the Northeast seaboard of the [[United States]] whose fresh water mixes for many miles with the waters of the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. The bay, as an estuary, forms a transitional zone between the river environment provided by the Delaware River and maritime environment of the Atlantic Ocean that is subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. Delaware Bay covers {{convert|782|sqmi|km2}} in area.<ref>[http://kyw.iewatershed.com/index.php?pagename=ow_watershed_overview Overview of the Delaware River Watershed] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050110013316/http://kyw.iewatershed.com/index.php?pagename=ow_watershed_overview |date=2005-01-10 }}</ref> The bay is bordered by the State of [[New Jersey]] and the State of [[Delaware]]. The bay's outermost boundary separating it from the Atlantic are two capes: [[Cape Henlopen]] and [[Cape May]].
