Passaic River Boat Tour on Saturday

Opportunity to travel Nutley/Lyndhurst waterways.

All aboard! 

On Saturday some lucky township residents will get a unique, watery view of Nutley and the area. 

The Nutley Community Preservation Partnership has chartered two boats from the Hackensack Riverkeeper and will take residents on a tour of the Passaic River along Nutley.

Ever since the construction of Route 21, the riverbank has been mostly inaccessible to Nutley residents.

The boat tour will depart from the Hackensack Riverkeeper’s launch in Lyndhurst at 11 a.m. and will come up the Passaic River to Nutley from Newark Bay.  The boats will be guided by Capt. Bill Sheehan of the Hackensack Riverkeeper organization.
