List of rivers of New Jersey facts for kids
This is a list of streams and rivers of the U.S. state of New Jersey.
The list of New Jersey rivers includes streams formally designated as rivers, as well as smaller streams such as branches, creeks, drains, forks, licks, runs, etc. found throughout the state. Among the major rivers in New Jersey are the Manasquan, Maurice, Mullica, Passaic, Rahway, Raritan, Musconetcong, Hudson and Delaware rivers. Throughout history, the Delaware and Raritan rivers have played a crucial role in transporting goods and people from the Atlantic Ocean into the inland areas, and they were once connected by the Delaware and Raritan Canal. Today, these rivers, along with the streams that feed them, provide sport and recreation for many people.
