lower river is one of only two major Paleoindian archaeological sites in New Jersey, and one of the most significant in the Northeast. The Leni Lanape tribe named the Musconetcong, which means “river that flows from two lakes.” The river begins at the dam at Lake Hopatcong at the Morris County–Sussex County border and flows through Lake Musconetcong. The Musky is roughly 42 miles long, about 25 miles of which is designated as a federal Wild & Scenic River.
The Musky has benefited from the efforts of Trout Unlimited and other parties who have worked to restore and protect the river. To date, six obsolete dams have been removed. This provides passage for trout and anadromous fish, such as American shad and striped bass in the lower river. There has also been significant channel restoration throughout the watershed. This benefits both trout and insects. More restoration work is planned.
