Elizabeth River
( 40.67718, -74.22651 )

The Elizabeth River is highly urbanized and difficult to access, hence the purple markers on the map.


Weston's Mill Pond

  1. Davidson's Mill Pond - East Brunswick ( 40.41117, -74.49789 )
  2. Farrington Lake - East Brunswick (C) ( 40.42465, -74.47680 )
  3. Farrington Lake - East Brunswick (N) ( 40.43900, -74.46646 )

  7. Weston's Mill Pond - East Brunswick ( 40.46677, -74.42603 )

Westons Mill Pond is the northernmost of several lakes created by damming the Lawrence Brook, which flows from south to north, and into the Raritan River. This access point is the road that led up to the old bridge, which is gone. There is always enough parking and it is an easy launch, just a few yards to the water.

If you don't know how to turn your canoe on a dime when you put in at your first Pinelands river, you will by the time you finish. These are narrow, winding rivers, full of sweeping curves and sharply angled switchbacks. Yet these twists and turns are very much a part of the mystique and the delight of paddling in New Jersey's Pinelands.
