Also known as the "Musky", the Musconetcong River is located in the
Skylands Region of Northwest New Jersey. The Stephens State Park area is located between Saxton Falls and Hackettstown, where the productive fishing starts. The river here is some 30- to 40-feet wide, and has great pools, runs, and riffles. Tree-lined banks help shade this river and keep it cool well into late spring and early summer.
This medium-sized river, 40- to 60-feet wide, is one of the better quality trout streams in New Jersey. Here, browns and rainbows are well stocked and holdover year after year.
