Navesink River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Navesink River is an estuary, approximately 8 mi (12 km) long in Monmouth County, New Jersey in the United States.
Known as the Swimming River upstream of Red Bank, it is formed southwest of Red Bank by the confluence of the Swimming River with several smaller streams. It extends ENE along the north side of Red Bank, connecting to the Shrewsbury River estuary at Rumson, approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) south of the entrance of the Shrewsbury River into Sandy Hook Bay near Highlands. The area along the Navesink coast is by far one of the most affluent and expensive areas in New Jersey, the East Coast and even the United States. It has long been an area of Old Money.
The estuary is navigable up to Red Bank, where it provides an expansive marina. The community of Rumson, located on the peninsula between the Navesink and Shrewsbury estuaries, is among the wealthiest communities in the United States.
