Paddling near Bayonne, NJ
Set in Hudson County, Bayonne sits where Newark Bay, the Kill Van Kull, and the lower Hudson River converge — a tidal urban estuary with Manhattan skyline backdrops. Paddlers reach the Hudson, Hackensack River, and Newark Bay within minutes, while the tidal strait toward Staten Island funnels strong currents and bait through a classic kayak-fishing zone.
