River Description
As far as I know, no one's run this yet. I'm posting info on it mostly because someone posted some photos of this creek and there was no description of if up yet.
Google Earth and searches of waterfall photo galleries online suggest that this run has some good/BIG drops on it. The take-out might be a little tricky. Trespassing on Wanaque Res. property and/or paddling on Wanaque Res. are forbidden and stictly enforced. Have an exit plan ready which allows you to get out before the fence.
There seems to be an old diversion dam and pond which sends water southeast to another small lake. It might be possible to run that or hike along it to get out.

This is right below the put in.
This is first few hundred yards of Posts Creek. With enough water to run it, I imagine it would be quite a slalom course between drops, with an occasional strainer thrown in for good measure.
located in Norvin Green State Park just 2 miles south of the West Brook
drop on Posts Brook...about 2 miles away from West Brook
