About this water

Ken Lockwood Gorge on the South Branch of the Raritan River is widely regarded as one of New Jersey's finest trout fishing destinations, featuring a scenic 2.5-mile stretch of catch-and-release, flies-and-lures-only water. The gorge holds wild and stocked brown and rainbow trout in a beautiful hemlock-lined canyon setting. This is a must-visit destination for serious fly anglers in the Garden State.
