This website is integrated with OpenLayers maps - you can zoom and scroll the imagery to get a better view. Click on a green dot to load a county map. I have also added a Message Board where you can create your own account and use to arrange meet-ups, etc.

OpenAI Says:

NJKayak.net is a New Jersey-focused kayaking resource website that offers maps, put-in locations, and general information for paddlers interested in kayaking across the state:

What NJKayak.net Is

It’s a kayaking guide site for New Jersey with interactive county-based maps showing kayaking spots, public access points, and various markers for places to paddle.

The maps use OpenLayers (so you can pan and zoom on a larger screen) with markers indicating things like free and paid access points, rental locations, and other points of interest.

You can click on counties to begin exploring kayak access sites and see useful GPS info for planning trips.

Additional Features

The site also lists stores and places where you can get kayak gear (e.g., West Marine, Dick’s Sporting Goods).

There are sections for rentals and other paddle-related resources, though these are relatively simple lists rather than formal directories.

A blog shares updates, equipment tips, and site improvements by the creator.

What It’s Not

NJKayak.net is not a commercial kayak shop or rental operator itself - it’s an informational resource. If you want to buy kayaks or gear online, other sites such as NJKayaks.com / Yakkity Yaks Kayaks offer products and accessories for sale.

The Swimming River is an extension of the Navesink. On the map above, you can see the main put-in is at the upper-right in the new (2015) county park. You need to check in at the ranger's hut; there is a ramp fee of $7 per vessel, including kayaks and canoes. The park also has a strict closing time, at which the gates are locked. For details, see the county's page here:
