Cohansey River & Cove
Rate This Site:

The Cohansey River, also known as Cohansey Creek, rises in central Salem County and flows south through rural Cumberland County. Approaching Bridgeton, the river becomes deeper and more navigable for boats and comes to the mouth of an estuary rich with wetlands and salt marshes. Here you can past white herons and blue herons, herring gulls and swans. Sometimes if you look hard enough, you may be able to spot someone's crab traps, houses with widow’s walks and finally reaching the Ship John Lighthouse at the entrance to the Delaware Bay.

COME PREPARED

If you want to load your boat into the river, there's a concrete ramp open to the public at :
