New Jersey whitewater, Pequest River Warren county, Great Meadows to Delaware River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     14 miles   NJ DEP Div of Fish and Wildlife indicates that all water in NJ is open to the public. When an entity owns the land on both sides of a river, they also own the river bottom. A person can float through a POSTED area, but may not touch the sides or bottom of the river. Says Lee Bishop We put in at the Pequest Trout Hatchery in April of 2019. The 3-mile run to Buttzville was exhilarating and exciting. After the Buttzville bridge, a POSTED     NO TRESPASSING sign is hung across the river by the Pequest Angler Club. Two State Police cars pulled up when we pulled off the river. Then I was told by a local to cart the kayaks off of their private property to the side of the road. How can a private club own a river? Says Lee Bishop The wonderful New Jersey scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This stretch of Pequest River in Warren   County is 14 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater.
