Monmouth County is located in the central portion of the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is bordered to its west by Mercer, Middlesex and Burlington Counties, to its south by Ocean County, to its east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to its north by the Raritan Bay (sharing a border with the boroughs of Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens in New York City, across it). Monmouth County's geographic area comprises 30% water.

Lake Lefferts is a man-made lake, the result of the construction in 1928 of Lake Lefferts Dam, which captures and stores the flow of Matawan Creek. This is the nicest spot in northern Monmouth County. The lake is in three parts:

  • The lower part that contains the dam and the launch area and extends up to the Route 34 bridge. This part is fairly deep and free of obstructions.
  • The upper part from Route 34 to Route 516. This part is much shallower and weedy, especially at the far end.
  • An unusable section beyond Route 516. This part is pretty much just mud. It may look like water, but trust me - don't go there.

Navesink River

Navesink River
( 40.36255, -74.05148 )

  1. Navesink River - Fair Haven ( 40.36647, -74.04204 )
  2. Navesink River - Red Bank ( 40.35212, -74.06980 )

  4. Navesink River - Rumson (W) ( 40.37650, -74.01310 )
  5. Shadow Lake - Middletown ( 40.34698, -74.10476 )
  6. Swimming River - Middletown ( 40.34831, -74.08318 )
  7. Swimming River - Red Bank ( 40.33838, -74.08815 )

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.
