Turkey Swamp Park - Freehold
( 40.19426, -74.30272 )

  1. Turkey Swamp Park - Freehold ( 40.19577, -74.30435 )

This is a rather small lake with a long shoreline and even a couple of islands. Would probably make an interesting afternoon.


Liberty State Park
( 40.70139, -74.05094 )

  1. Liberty State Park - Jersey City ( 40.69768, -74.06520 )

Parking and launch access are free. There can be a good deal of boat traffic on the river, especially ferries, but if you are careful, you can paddle around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

My preferred launch point is on the river behind the little strip mall off Route 527 / Old Matawan Rd. I have never had a problem parking here, although I don't think this would be a good place for a large group to show up. Entry can be messy if the water is low. I wouldn't wear white. The launch site is pretty muddy at low tide, try to hit this spot when there is plenty of water.
