Elizabeth River

Elizabeth River
( 40.67718, -74.22651 )

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.

Don't spend a fortune on a PFD, or Personal Flotation Device, commonly known as a life preserver. Unless you plan to go far offshore in deep water, you will never need it or wear it. Most of the places I go, self-rescue would be a matter of standing up, or a couple of strokes to shallow water or the shore.
