Liberty State Park - Jersey City

Liberty State Park
( 40.70139, -74.05094 )

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. The museum in the old railroad/ferry terminal is another point of interest.

Both islands have landings, but I wouldn't try to use them! The marina is the outlet of the long-gone Morris Canal. Just a few small bits of the canal still hold water in Sussex County. Finally, remember you are in the Hudson River, and may end up dealing with a strong current, especially if the tide is out-going.

The Raritan River is what is left of the outflow of the Hudson River after it broke through the Verrazano Narrows about 6,000 years ago and changed to its present course. The modern Raritan River drains much of central New Jersey, with tributaries threading through the state from Princeton to Morristown. One northern tributary - the Lamington River - reaches almost to Lake Hopatcong. Zoom the map out to see the entire drainage. The thin red line is the "fall line" - the nominal division between uplands and lowlands.
