Elizabeth River
The Elizabeth River is highly urbanized and difficult to access, hence the purple markers on the map.
I’ve marked the three starting and ending points in the videos below, but I would strongly recommend against all of them. The lower part of the Elizabeth River is bulkheaded for much of its length, more of a storm drain than a river, and the Arthur Kill looks filthy and a little dangerous. The videos are interesting, but I don’t ever want to go there myself. The upper reaches of the Elizabeth River might be nice, although I don’t see any obvious access points, and there are a number of weirs that could be a problem.

All of present-day Union County was part of the Elizabethtown Tract, which was purchased in 1664, by English colonists from the Lenape Native Americans that lived in the area of present-day Elizabeth, New Jersey. Union County was formed on March 19, 1857, from portions of Essex County; it was the last of New Jersey’s 21 counties to be established. With a population density of 4,955 inhabitants per square mile in 2000, Union County was the 15th-most densely populated county in the United States.
