Stanton Company Local Recommendations

On the Water Edition

Want to beat the heat in August? 

Getting out on the water is a great way to cool off!

Some of our favorite local canoe and kayak spots:

• Delaware River – Uncrowded, plenty of access and you’ll see eagles everytime out.
• Hackensack River – Right in our backyard, the “Hacky” offers a wild setting amid urban landscapes. 
• Split Rock Reservoir – Undeveloped large public lake in nearby Boonton.  
• Raritan River – Harder to access, but leisurely paddle through pastoral setting. 
• Sandy Hook – Park at lot C, and it’s a short carry to the “windsurfing beach”. 

Reputable Outfitters of Gear:

• Yellow Dog Paddle – Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, Fishing, Full Moon/Sunset Paddles, SUP Yoga 
• Hackensack River Keepers Paddle Centers – A great organization that has everything you need to explore the Hacky. 
• Kittatinny Canoes – They’ve been running Delaware river trips for over 80 years!
