There is no recorded depth to quote. Judge it from the water itself: silt gives way to gravel where the old river ran. Bright, still days are the hardest of any season.

Does Hackensack River freeze?

A lid forms in a hard winter only. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Treat the bank as borrowed rather than owned.
