Lamington river- Fall 2019

[AndyS]

Removal of the remnant Burnt Mills Dam on the lower Lamington River by our friends at Raritan Headwaters Association. The project, slated for October of this year, will benefit anadromous fish as more and more obsolete dams are removed in the Raritan watershed. We very much look forward to this removal and the addition of a wetlands pond as well as a bank lowering upstream to allow the river better access to the intact floodplain on the left side of the river on Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) which sets aside valuable floodplains and protects them from development permanently.

So the North Branch will be grey in the fall during fall trout stocking so be forewarned. The Lamington does not get fall stocking.
