Arthur Kill
( 40.57230, -74.22419 )

  1. Arthur Kill - Buckingham Ave ( 40.51462, -74.25871 )

If you are into industrial blight, then Arthur Kill is the place for you! Endure all the sights, sounds, and smells of Staten Island without actually going there! Maybe get a tetanus shot first.


Assunpink Lake - Upper Freehold
( 40.21804, -74.50981 )

  1. Assunpink Lake - Upper Freehold ( 40.21542, -74.51702 )

  3. Stone Tavern Lake - Upper Freehold ( 40.19587, -74.48596 )

About a mile long, in the Assunpink WMA. To the east you can find two other small lakes in the same watershed: Stone Tavern Lake (WMA), and Rising Sun Lake (WMA). Assunpink Creek drains into Lake Mercer, which is much larger than any of these.

  16. Wagner's Marina - Matawan Creek ( 40.43540, -74.21416 )

The marker in the lower-center of the map is a super-easy put-in on Whale Creek, above. The other markers are a longer slog over the beach. All have convenient free parking (don't leave your vehicle in the launching area, that's a dick move!)


Cohansey River
( 39.45161, -75.29945 )

  1. Bostwick Lake - Cohansey River ( 39.52842, -75.26801 )
  2. Cohansey River - Bridgeton ( 39.42658, -75.23626 )

Deal Lake
( 40.23338, -74.01328 )

  2. Deal Lake - Asbury Park (S) ( 40.22957, -74.00938 )

This lake has a lot of different branches to explore, and you can actually go quite a long way. The two marked sites are the best accesses for the northern and southern branches of the lake. Unfortunately, located in the middle of Asbury Park, the water is not the cleanest, especially near the railroad and toward the drain at the beach. The 'headwaters' are better.


Delaware & Raritan Canal

The green line on the map above is the Delaware & Raritan, or D&R, Canal. The canal is a basically 40-mile-long pond. The water flows very slowly from west to east; it is essentially still. Access points generally coincide with bridges or locks.

The thin red line is the "fall line" - the nominal division between uplands and lowlands. It appears the builders of the canal wanted to stay above the fall line for the entire length, and followed the Millstone and Raritan Rivers. The orange line is the divide between east and west drainages.

The Delaware River (and Bay) are too big to fit into the county-based scheme of this website, so I gave it its own top-level page. These maps include the adjacent canals, which are good places in themselves to go, but often obstruct access to the river. Zoom in to separate the markers. The orange line is the approximate limit of the Delaware River drainage.


Elizabeth River
( 40.67718, -74.22651 )

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