Dunnfield Creek is one of New Jersey's finest wild trout streams, offering a secluded and pristine fishing experience in Warren County. Flowing through Worthington State Forest within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, this spring-fed creek remains cool year-round, creating an ideal habitat for native brook trout. Designated as a Wild Trout Stream under New Jersey's conservation program, Dunnfield Creek is not stocked, allowing for a naturally reproducing trout population. The creek's crystal-clear water, deep pools, and shaded banks make it a favorite among fly anglers seeking a challenge. The surrounding hemlock and mixed hardwood ravine provides not only shade that helps maintain cool water temperatures but also creates a serene backdrop for fishing. The creek features numerous small cascades as it flows through the mature forest before eventually reaching the Delaware River.
