Raritan River

By

July 23, 2015 the WooFDriver took the WooFPAK on an exciting Midnight Mushing Tour of the Columbia Trail in New Jersey. There was definitely a spooky feeling as they rolled passed some of the abandoned buildings at night along the trail.

Before the sun went down they got a view of the South Branch of the Raritan River. A major river of central New Jersey, the 30 mile long Raritan River drains into the Raritan Bay then into the Atlantic Ocean. On the years environmental measures have reduced pollution of the river which resulted in better water quality. From its fresh waters upriver to the tidal waters closer to the bay, the aquatic creatures have benefited greatly with increased populations of fish and crustaceans.
