Brown Trout species guide

The Shawangunk Kill is a 47.2-mile-long stream that flows northward through Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties, New York. It is the largest tributary of the Wallkill River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that the lower Shawangunk supports an unusually diverse plant and animal community due to the absence of any serious impoundment along the upper river.
