 | | Built during Barge Canal construction from 1908 to1913, Delta Reservoir is located north of the city of Rome and is situated at the headwaters to the Mohawk River. |
 | | Delta Lake State Park is located on a peninsula with views of Delta Lake and offers camping, a boat launch, fishing, picnic areas, swimming, playgrounds, ballfields, and hiking trails as well as cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing in the winter. |
 | | The lands to be transferred consist of the approximately 350 acres currently permitted to State Parks and an additional 370 acres, consisting of two islands and a large wetland area north of the Park along with a unique area of cliffs called the Palisades on the eastern shore between the dam and the State Park. |
