Pepacton Reservoir was created in 1955 by impounding the East Branch of the Delaware river near the village of Downsville in Delaware County. The impoundment was named after the small hamlet of Pepacton, which was covered under 120 feet of water.

Union Grove, New York. The town no longer exists. It was flooded by the Pepacton Reservoir so New York City could have water. The Pepacton flooded four communities -- Arena, Pepacton, Shavertown and Union Grove displacing 974 people. Union Grove used to be between Binghampton and Schenectedy, in Delaware County, near Delhi and Walton.

The reservoir is about twenty miles long and averages about one-half mile wide. When full, the reservoir comprises 5700 surface acres and is 1280 feet above sea level. Water usage results in seasonal changes in reservoir levels. Although typically full between the months of March and June, water withdrawals usually result in a gradual drawdown of the reservoir during the summer and fall. Common fish species include brown trout, smallmouth bass, brown bullhead, rock bass, yellow perch, white sucker and alewife.
