Mill Creek Point

At the north end of Secaucus’ frontage on the Hackensack is Mill Creek Point Park. Owned by the town, but developed by the Meadowlands Commission, Mill Creek Point Park provides access to the river and the Mill Creek Marsh, the Commission’s first wetlands enhancement project. Recreational crabbers tie traps to the sheet piling at the point, though downstream, in Newark Bay, the crabs are considered so toxic that it would be dangerous to eat more than one every 20 years. Commercial fishing has been banned since the 1980s.
