        The Roscoe Motel sits on the bank of the Beaverkill River .  The lower section of the Beaverkill begins at the Junction pool where the Beaverkill River and the Willowmoc River join.  River is known as “ Big River ” because the size of the River doubles.  The water is made up of riffles and pools that cater to the dry-fly fisherman.  

        The Willowemoc River is renowned as a world class trout fishery.  It is ideal for brook trout and abundant with wild native fish.  It also supports a wild population of  book and brown trout and stocked several times a year.  The lower Willowemoc offers excellent pools and riffles, numerous and deep enough to hold large trout.  The Willowemoc runs into the Beaverkill River at Junction pool which is located next to the Roscoe Motel.
