| Fishing and Hunting: |
| The Musconetcong River provides excellent trout fishing. During the spring the Division of Fish and Wildlife stock the Musconetcong River with brown, rainbow and brook trout.
Approximately 400 of the total acreage is designated a NO HUNTING area. |
| History of the Area: |
| Less than one mile east along Waterloo Road at Saxton Falls are the remains of one of the Morris Canal?s twenty-three locks and a section of the old canal?s towpath. The original canal was 90 miles in length, stretching from Newark to Phillipsburg, and was used to ship coal and iron across the state. However, the canal could not compete with the development of the Morris and Essex Railroad in the late 1800s, and the canal was eventually abandoned. |
