Come Explore the Cohansey!

The Cohansey River runs 30.6 miles long. Rising from Cool Run in Salem County and continuing down through Cumberland County, to the Delaware  and and drains about 108 square miles! Beginning in central Salem County, the Cohansey River runs south through Cumberland County, draining mostly through rural agricultural land and forested lowlands. The river passes through Upper Deerfield Township, Hopewell Township, the City of Bridgeton, Fairfield Township, and Greenwich Township as it makes its way toward the Delaware Bay. There, it feeds into productive and invaluable wetlands and salt marshes.
