Enjoy the quiet beauty of the streams and rivers in the Ken Lockwood Gorge Wildlife Management Area.

Explore the South Branch of the Raritan River in the Ken Lockwood Gorge Wildlife Management Area.

The Ken Lockwood Gorge, north of High Bridge, is one of the state's most picturesque wildlife management areas and popular among birdwatchers, hikers and photographers.

It straddles the South Branch of the Raritan River for about 2.5 miles, covering 260 acres. The Raritan River Road follows the gorge, but can be hazardous at certain times of the year.

The gorge is open for trout fishing year-round. The river supports trout, smallmouth bass, rock bass and sunfish.
