 National Rivers: New Jersey River Law, on river conservation, river access, paddling, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, ...
Rivers cannot be closed or partially closed to appease adjacent landowners, or to appease people who want to dedicate the river to fishing only, or to make life easier for local law enforcement agencies.
But rivers that are navigable for title purposes are public land up to the ordinary high water mark, so that even when the river runs dry, people still have the right to walk along the bed of the river.
The National Rivers Website and the Rivers of New Jersey section are made possible by the generosity of the members of the National Organization for Rivers (NORS.) To start or extend your membership, go to NORS Memberships.

 New Jersey Pinelands
Although the boundary includes the entire New Jersey Pinelands in both the New York Bight and Delaware Bay watersheds, the emphasis of this narrative is on the land and water areas within the New York Bight watershed.
Uplands in the New Jersey Pinelands are predominantly vegetated by pine-oak forests and oak-pine forests.
The Knieskern's beaked-rush is endemic to the New Jersey Pinelands where it occurs in early successional habitats maintained by natural forces and, in the case of the borrow pits, in human-created, early successional habitat; borrow pit sites account for almost half of the known populations.

 New York - New Jersey Highlands
The New York State Breeding Bird Atlas indicates a thriving population of cerulean warbler in the deciduous forests of the Highlands, one of the few concentrations of this species in the state.
One example from the New Jersey portion of the Highlands is Breakneck Mountain, a steep, northwest-facing talus slope with Dewey's sedge (Carex deweyana), Hitchcock's sedge (Carex hitchcockiana), purple clematis (Clematis occidentalis), oak fern (Gymnocarpium dryopteris), fly honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis), pellitory (Parietaria pennsylvanica), and the only known state occurrence of red pine (Pinus resinosa).
South of the moraine and core area in New Jersey, the focus should be on preserving the existing forested ridges and maintaining the network of agricultural lands and grasslands in the valleys.

 Dunkerhook: Slave Community?
Dunkerhook Road does not appear on the detailed maps of New Jersey and New York drawn for General George Washington by Robert Erskine between 1778 and 1779 [17], but the Zabriskies' residence is shown in the area, with no other structures depicted in the vicinity of Dunkerhook.
An examination of historic records reveals that small slave houses existed on some large New Jersey farmsteads, but they invariably occurred as single dwellings [34], and there is no evidence that a number of such dwellings ever existed in the Dunkerhook area.
By 1860, only 18 slaves were left in New Jersey, all of whom resided in the northwestern portion of the state [42], far from Dunkerhook.
