Photo of the Day: Elmwood Park Marina, Elmwood Park, NJ

I took the image accompanying this post around noontime a few days ago while I was in Elmwood Park, on the western boundary of Bergen County, NJ.

From what I gather from online reviews, I found the marina, bordering on the Passaic River, in a characteristic moment: quiet, peaceful, with an occasional fisherman and far more ducks lining the shore.

The main use of the site, of course, is as a launch point for kayaks and canoes. Picnic tables and swings are here for family use, and, for the likes of solitary passersby like myself, it’s simply a nice place to pull over off River Drive, gather one’s thoughts and reflect on a lovely day.
