The Navesink River is more like a big brackish lake, except where it narrows-down and connects to Raritan Bay. While it is tidal, most of the river has negligible current, although it is wide enough to get choppy if the wind is strong. The water is generally clean, unlike the nearby Swimming River. Boat traffic is not too bad either.
No matter where you start from, the Navesink offers beautiful and interesting views along both banks. Nice houses and the Red Bank "skyline" along the south shore, and mansions along the north shore, including Governor Murphy's place not far from the 35 bridge, and the Bon Jovi estate.
The one place to stay away from is where the river narrows-down near Sea Bright - the boat traffic is heavy and the tidal current can be very strong.

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.

This small lake is about a mile long. The only public launch is at the west end in Stevenson Park, off West Front Street. There is a channel from there to the lake, but good luck finding it - be prepared to run aground. Fortunately, the bottom is firm sand, and a short tow on foot will get you out to deeper water. It is also possible to go a short ways up the creek.
