Link Description
Stores
The BIGGEST canoe & kayak dealer in NJ, PERIOD.  They have a wide selection of boats, which can be test paddled in nearby Forge Pond for a fee.  Their selection of paddling clothing leaves something to be desired.  They sponsor several paddling events throughout the year, including Paddlesport in late March, early April.
Comparable in size to Paint Island.  Sells Yakima & Malone of Maine roof rack accessories.  Though George does not accept credit cards, he is accomodating when paying by check.
Dwarfed by Jersey Paddler.  They are a dealer for the two top drysuit manufacturers, Kokatat & Stohlquist.  They also offer test paddles of their boats.
Manufacturers
Aluminum-framed folding kayaks.  I have found their most popular model, the K-Light Plus to be a MAJOR pain-in-the-butt to assemble, but a gem in the water.  It turns easily, tracks extremely well (given its length), and is very stable.
Makers of drysuits and other apparel.  Their web site contains suggestions for how to dress under your drysuit.
Their neoprene sprayskirts are top-of-the-line, and their customer service is just as good.  After having been frustrated with their Linderback model for nearly year, because it stayed on TOO tight, I sent it back to be loosen up.  They returned it, free of charge, still tight, but easy enough for me to attach without a struggle.
Clubs
Specifically, the Delaware Valley Division, focusing on western NJ & eastern PA.  Check out their list of links.  If you're at work, turn off your speaker, since this a NOISY site.
A message board listing trips, mostly along the NJ shore.  Occasionally, places like Merrill Creek and Round Valley are included.  Additional info about the club is also available.
Miscellaneous Sites
Listing of lakes, ponds, & reservoirs in NJ, by county.  Geared toward fishermen, but very helpful to paddlers.  This is my favorite web site discovery.
Depth contours of various NJ lakes.  Incomplete and the maps do not follow the same format.
