Focus area: Public access and recreational use of the river
Efforts in this area focus on increasing awareness and recreational use of the Raritan River trails and waterways. Here we focus on developing new and upgrading existing access points and river-oriented trails and developing a coordinated plan for future Raritan River recreational uses.
