The Rahway River is a river, approximately 30 mi (48 km long), in northeastern New Jersey in the United States. The river drains part of the suburban and urbanized area of New Jersey near New York City. Part of the extended area of New York Harbor, the river empties in to the Arthur Kill. In its upper reaches, the river is lined with several urban parks. The mouth of the river serves an industrial access channel.
It rises in central Essex County and flows south past Rahway. Near Rahway it receives the South Branch Rahway River, approximately 10 mi (16 km) long. It flows into the Arthur kill between Carteret (on the south) and Sewaren (on the north). The mouth of the river is opposite Port Mobil on Staten Island.
The river is stocked with approximately 6300 trout annually.
