In the Great Swamp. A few years ago I put my canoe in near Lord Stirling Park and I paddled as far up the Passaic as the canoe would go. It eventually got too shallow to go any farther, so I assume I was real close to the beginning.

The one and only Passaic River starts out as a 3-5 foot wide Trout stream somewhere near Mendham, NJ. This is a fact! Whe you find the Country Mile, you've found the beginning of an AWESOME fishery!!!!!!!

Passaic River sucks. Dirty, polluted, and no fish anywhere in its 80 miles. Don't waste your time there!
