Pompton Furnace

Highlight • Historical Site

At this spot is a metal historical marker for the Pompton Furnace. The furnace and iron works, which are no longer standing, supplied cannonballs to the Continental Army in 1776-1777 and other arms in the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The furnace was destroyed by a flood in 1903.

Rockaway River

Highlight • River

The Rockaway River, spanning about 35 miles, is a tributary of the Passaic River. In the 19th century, it played an important role as an industrial transportation link, connecting to the Morris Canal near Wharton, which was a big part of the shipping of coal and iron ore between Pennsylvania and New York City. While historically there were pollution issues, the isolated upper course of the river is now a popular site for smallmouth bass fishing.
