Chris River Marina, Red Bank

Chris River Marina is a public boat ramp providing seasonal access to the Navesink River in Red Bank, Monmouth County. The ramp features a concrete launch with adequate water depth at low tide, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The facility is open from March 1 through November 30 and offers scenic views of Red Bank and the surrounding Navesink and Swimming Rivers. This is a recently developed public access point that replaced a former private marina.

The Navesink River is a tidal waterway ideal for paddlers interested in fishing, crabbing, wildlife observation, or casual river touring. From this Red Bank location, paddlers can explore both upstream and downstream sections of the river and connect to the Swimming River system. The site provides a convenient launch point for day trips and recreational paddling in this scenic coastal New Jersey waterway. For extended paddling trips, Camp Gateway at Sandy Hook is available as a nearby camping option within 10 miles.
