Hi Walt,
Bergen County offers some great places to Kayak for beginners to experienced kayakers.

Here are three of the top locations:

• Hackensack River Water Trail, Bergen County - Launch and retrieve kayaks at Laurel Hill County Park in Secaucus. River access is free and available to boaters with craft up to 24 feet in length. They offer fifty-two canoes and kayaks for rental.. 201-920-4746


• Meadowlands Commission's River Barge Park and Marina, Carlstadt, Bergen County -
  A 5.5-acre site on the Hackensack River. The marina's launching ramp provides the first public boating access to the river's western shore in Bergen County. The park includes a boat ramp, docks, paddling and rowing launch points, a 17-slip marina, a scenic promenade with picnic tables, and paths lined by native plants.
  There is also a launch point for canoes, kayaks, and sculls. (201) 460-4677


• Overpeck Park Kayak Center, Bergen County - The park straddles Overpeck Creek, forming a lake. and is one of the best places to learn, because it’s protected and calm. Canoe and kayak rentals are available  201-957-308.

Have Fun,
