User / jag9889 / Indian Fish Weir (Trap) on the Passaic River
106,936 items
Location: between Paterson NJ and Fair Lawn NJ (north of the Fair Lawn Ave Bridge)

Note: Fish weirs (traps), many built by native Americans prior to European settlement, once abounded on the Passaic River and elsewhere in the region. The Paterson-Fair Lawn weir consists of a "V"-shaped wall of river cobbles and boulders, with its point oriented downstream (this fish weir is one of the few visible remnants of pre-European occupation in the northeastern United States).
