The Musconetcong River, affectionately known as the Musky by local anglers, is a premier trout fishing destination in northwestern New Jersey. This medium-sized freestone river flows approximately 42 miles from its source at Lake Hopatcong to its confluence with the Delaware River at Riegelsville. The river provides diverse fishing opportunities with its varied sections of pocket water, deep pools, riffles, and runs. Flowing through Stephens State Park and Allamuchy Mountain State Park, the Musconetcong offers not only excellent fishing but also scenic beauty with its tree-lined banks that provide important shade to maintain cool water temperatures during summer months.
