Stephens State park, named for the family that, in 1937, donated 228 acres along the Musconetcong river for an excellent freshwater fishing spot which flows over and around boulders, with places for recreational purposes, provides camping, and picnic facilities. The history goes back much further, as indicated by an old limestone kiln near the park office.

Because the Musconetcong River corridor is located in a more remote part of New Jersey, much of the corridor's historical and archeological resources remain intact. Dozens of culturally significant historic and archeological resources—many of which are registered in the State and National Registers of Historic places—can be found along the 24.2 miles of the river's federal designation. Waterloo Village, Stanhope, Asbury and Finesville are places that bring visitors back to earlier times and underscore the importance of the Musconetcong River as the sustaining resource that established them.
