Rockaway

Despite continued suggestions by locals that people aren't supposed to be paddling this stretch of river, there are NO ordinances in the Boonton Municipal Code relating to paddling, boating, kayaking, canoeing, etc. on the Rockaway through Boonton (Nov. 2010). If you stop before the Reservoir, and carry back up on River Left, Ferry across, carry under 287 on River right, and get into your car at the gauging station, you should be good to go.
I've been checking the agenda for the Boonton Town Council Meetings every month since 2007 to keep an eye out for attempts at legislation prohibiting boating. AW people have spoken to the town council regarding the economic benefits of paddlers and many other subjects, but, as Thomas Jefferson said 'It is impossible to reason someone out of a belief that they have not reasoned themselves into'. Meanwhile we simply have to be vigilant, and polite.
