There really isn't any parking there, just small dirt pull offs. Best time to do your scouting is in the middle of the winter.
Don't pin your hopes standing on that wall donating lures all day. Sure the fish tend to bottle up there but standing there you are fishing 0.00000001th of that river. Look at all the spots. Duke Island Park, Robert St, Nevius St., Orlando Park all in Raritan Borough. Upper and lower Peters Brook Greenway in Somerville, Finderne Farms in Bridgewater, Duke Park in Manville, Queens Bridge in Bound Brook, Riverside Park in Piscataway, DeMott Lane, Johnson Park, Boyd Park, Edison boat ramps and so on.
You really want to fish a large river properly get a canoe or kayak.
The guy who caught the SMB spends all his time on the D&R canal and says the fishing rivals that of the Raritan river.
In the back of Manville there is a boat launch and took my 14ft boat down the Millstone and up the Raritan river through Manville.
Gotta move around, just like the fish
