Northwest New Jersey's finest canoe stream — the Paulins Kill flows 41 miles through rolling farmland and limestone spring country to the Delaware River. Spring-fed and unusually clear for a New Jersey river, the Paulins Kill supports wild brown trout in its upper reaches. Class I–II paddling through a pastoral landscape that feels more like Pennsylvania Dutch country than the Garden State.
