5.5-acre, urban jewel located on the Hackensack River in Carlstadt. It provides much-needed public access to the river’s western banks in southern Bergen County.
The park offers a variety of boating activities, splendid riverfront views and a tranquil setting for relaxation, bird-watching and environmental education. It includes a boat ramp, docks, paddling and rowing launch points, a 17-slip marina, a scenic promenade with picnic tables, and paths lined by native plants.
River Barge Park, which opened in 2008, has a rich history. In the 1940s, the site was part of Sky Harbor, a seaplane base that trained hundreds of aviators during World War II. The property later became the home of the Barge Club, a very popular local restaurant in the 1970s and 1980s named for two covered wooden barges that made up the core of the facility. The restaurant owner’s collection of nautical and regional artifacts, including ballasts and channel markers, are displayed throughout River Barge Park.
