Tri-States Monument — Attraction in City of Port Jervis

First, as some others have mentioned, I'm not sure the directions to this are correct on here. It brought me to the exit of the one-way road through the graveyard, which is about a half mile away from the monument. I saw a gentleman and asked him directions, but I wasn't quite sure what he was telling me and I didn't want to keep driving around, so I just parked at the exit (there's a flower shop) and walked. It was a nice day weekday, so I didn't mind. I enjoyed getting to look around at all of the different tombstones and dedications, which were really interesting. The Tri States Monument is at the end of the walk by the edge of the water. There is a small parking lot. First you see the larger monument which is the NY and NJ Boundary Monument. The Tri States Monument is a little further down the rocks, I think it's pretty noticeable, but it's much smaller than the other monument. It was very interesting to see. There were people kayaking in the water. There was a smiley face graffiti-ed on it when I was there. The edge of the water is pretty gross looking. There was a lot of garbage, and it smelled like it. If it was a littler cleaner, it'd be a nice place to hang out a bit. The rocks are cool looking and it's a beautiful scenery. All in all, I highly recommend! Just beware that the directions using this weren't exactly correct. But if correct, you should be driving through the graveyard on...

5 stars because the beauty of the place itself, and been in three states (NY, NJ, PA)at the same time is amazing, the place is so quiet and kind of secluded from the world, that seems like the time stopped, but could be more well attended and cleaned, there is graffiti everywhere at the base of the viaduct(I-84), garbage overspilling from the containers and a very bad smell all over the parking, which is very small, just for a handful of cars. To get to the monument you have to drive or walk thru the old Laurel Grove cemetery, which is not posted no where, so is dificult to find out the way in, but even after all of that, is worthy to descend to the level of the river and admire the incredible beauty of the spot where the Neversink river encounters the Delaware. Good place for fishing too, and the cemetery is actually cute and...

Located at the tip of Carpenter's Point, a peninsula of land between the Delaware and Neversink Rivers the Tri-state Monument marks the convergence of NJ, NY, PA state lines. For almost 100 years, battles were fought between settlers over the NY-NJ boundary, until King George III, settled the matter by royal charter. A bit sadly this spot of geographical and historic interest, has been run over by progress as it's located underneath the I-84 bridge over the Delaware R.. Despite this intrusion of the modern age a visit here is lovely as you must cross through the historic and beautiful Laurel Grove Cemetery. Special Note: The entrance is not marked. Turn into Laurel Grove Cemetery, which is the 1st left turn after crossing the steel truss bridge over the Neversink...
