CLASS III-IV 14 miles
This section of Wickecheoke Creek in New Jersey is 14 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater.

The wonderful New Jersey scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
The put-in location is a short drive from Trenton-Ewing, as you can see on the road map further down. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. There are campgrounds quite near the river
where you can camp. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camp stove too. This is the only paddling section along Wickecheoke Creek. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
