About the Business
Welcome to Port Warren Park, a premier destination nestled along the historic Morris Canal Greenway in Greenwich Township, New Jersey. Located at 477 County Road 519, our park is a treasure trove of natural beauty and historical significance, offering visitors a unique blend of outdoor recreation and cultural exploration.
Port Warren Park is home to the renowned Jim and Mary Lee Museum and features the impressive Inclined Plane 9 West, the longest inclined plane on the Morris Canal. This remarkable canal, operational from the 1820s to the 1920s, spanned 102 miles from the Delaware River in Phillipsburg to the Hudson River in Jersey City. Known as the "Mountain Climbing Canal," it overcame a height elevation of 914 feet using 23 locks and 23 inclined planes, marking it as a major engineering marvel of its time.
Today, visitors can explore the Morris Canal Greenway Trail, which passes through Port Warren Park, offering a glimpse into the past with stabilized, restored, and reconstructed sections of the historic canal and its artifacts. In addition to its historical attractions, the park boasts a series of nature trails around its perimeter, perfect for walking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Enjoy a peaceful day of fishing or picnicking amidst the serene beauty of the park's landscape.
Port Warren Park is proudly recognized by National Geographic as part of the Scenic, Wild Delaware River Geotourism Region, celebrated for its commitment to aesthetics, culture, environment, heritage, and the well-being of local residents. The Jim and Mary Lee Museum is one of many sites in Warren County designated as a National Geographic Geotourism Destination.

Reviews
"Inaccessible"
"This place has a small bridge at the entrance that’s been out for 6 months. Just pathetic the county won’t fix it to let us use the small park."
"Wonderful local historical treasure!"
"Great place for a hike but not for a road bike."
