Pequest River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Great Meadows to Delaware River stretch is the only one.

reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New Jersey is often easier than elsewhere, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. Getting some good exercise and
just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
