About the rahway river
The Rahway River is a 24-mile-long river in New Jersey that flows through Union, Essex, and Middlesex counties. It has a rich history, having been used for transportation and industry during the colonial and early industrial periods. The river's hydrology has been altered by human activity, including the construction of dams and reservoirs for water supply and flood control. One notable dam is the Lenape Park Dam in Cranford, which creates a popular recreational lake. The river also supports agriculture, with farms located along its banks. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve water quality and restore habitat for wildlife. Recreational activities on the river include fishing, boating, and hiking along its banks.
