Measured the river on maps and it came out to about 13 miles.

Worth the long float with that biggie. Agree quantity wasnt on our side (especially mine) and Im convinced it has to do with the lack of shade.

Id say up where we started to where bound brook's shale flats came into play was worthy water. I think the trip from queens bridge up to the parking would be worth it over the easier parking at landing lane parking. That would be a trip of ~9 miles, cutting 4 miles out, and 4 miles of the lesser water amoungst that float. With the shorter trip we could focus on PM hours too. And honestly I wouldnt mind carrying the boat to the canal since that towpath is pretty easy to walk.

Thanks for the adventure, Andy
