There are plenty of paddlers in NJ as well as places to paddle. What sort of kayaking are you interested in? There's lakes, rivers, shorelines, not too much whitewater but enough to keep you busy (and it's not a long trip to nearby states). Joe P. |

i'm a beginner, so smoother water is what i'm looking for right now. lakes,
rivers or shorelines that can accomodate beginners would be great. thanks, todd "Joe Pylka" wrote in message hlink.net... i'm sure that new jersey doesn't offer as many areas to kayak as other parts of the country, but i was hoping to get some suggestions. any help would be appreciated.

First, check out some books on the subject, such as "Garden State Canoeing", "Exploring the Little Rivers of NJ", or "Canoeing the NJ Pine Barrens". These are likely to be in local libraries and EMS carries them as well as Barnes & Noble, etc. Those cover rivers fairly well. There's a Quiet Water Guide to NJ which covers lakes but it is badly flawed with misinformation and I can't recommend it. Second of all, look into some of the paddling clubs in NJ. Ignore the words "paddling" or "canoe"; they comprise both kinds of paddling... Garden State Canoe Club, Mohawk Canoe Club, Hackensack, Hunterdon, OCSJ, Appalachian Mountain Club, etc. etc. They are great sources of knowledgeable and friendly paddlers who know the rivers, how to run shuttles, and offer instruction and companionship. Email me backchannel if you want more info... In the meantime, for lakes, try Monksville Reservoir, Spruce Run and Round Valley reservoirs, Lake Carnegie near Princeton, or Assunpink south of Hightstown... Joe Pylka |
