Rockaway River

Highlight • River

The Rockaway River, spanning about 35 miles, is a tributary of the Passaic River. In the 19th century, it played an important role as an industrial transportation link, connecting to the Morris Canal near Wharton, which was a big part of the shipping of coal and iron ore between Pennsylvania and New York City. While historically there were pollution issues, the isolated upper course of the river is now a popular site for smallmouth bass fishing.
