"This kayak launch made for a fun adventure. The parking was fine, but no tap for rinsing the boat or bathroom/portapotty. You can choose between launching above the dam (to the right) or below the dam (to the left). We did both! We launched heading upstream (right) with barely any current. There is vegetation on both sides and it was a nice paddle. Soon we reached a downed tree, and we had to get out on the right bank, heave our kayaks up and over, and get back in. Did I mention the log was covered in poison ivy? Past the log, the river was still nice, but the highway noise got very pronounced (which turned out to be the garden state parkway). We turned around at Mohawk Park Waterfalls, where there is no portage option. We went back downstream, back over poison ivy log, and back to our launch spot, where we carried our kayaks past our cars and to the downstream put-in option. From there we paddled to Jackson Pond Dam. No idea if there is a portage and re-entry possible after the dam, since we were ready for food. We paddled back to the car. Since the water is shallow and quick from the put-in to Jackson Pond, it was challenging in spots to paddle upstream, but still doable and fun! This is probably a one-time only paddle for me since I’m not local, but I’ll try the Cranford section soon!"
"Nice park along rahway river. Good fishing, trout stocked water. Nice trails, but a bit neglected. Great waterfalls. jackson's pond. I believe they were called Jackson's falls."
