Saddle River Valley

The Saddle River flows south through much of Bergen County, New Jersey. The river runs through densely populated suburban areas for much of its course. The river takes its name from the river near Saddell in Argyll and Bute in Scotland.

The headwaters of the Saddle River are in the piedmont terrain of Rockland County, in southern New York state. Streams from this area flow south, forming the Saddle River at their confluence, two miles south of the New York state border, in the town of Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

From its feeder streams in Upper Saddle River and the source in Airmont, New York, the Saddle River continues south for 16.3 miles, passing through the towns of Saddle River, Waldwick, Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Paramus, Fair Lawn, Rochelle Park, Saddle Brook, Lodi, Garfield, and Wallington.

The Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, a major tributary, joins the Saddle River at the Dunkerhook area of Saddle River County Park. Their confluence marks the border of four Bergen County towns: Ridgewood, Paramus, Glen Rock and Fair Lawn.

The terminus of the Saddle River is at Garfield and Wallington, where the waterway empties into the Passaic River. The Passaic River drains at Newark Bay and via Arthur Kill and Kill van Kull to the Atlantic Ocean. The northern part of the Saddle River watershed drains an area between the Ramapo River watershed to the west, and the Hackensack River watershed to the east.

​Fish species in the Saddle River include largemouth bass, Brown bullhead, yellow bullhead, longnose dace, white sucker, tessellated darter, blacknose dace, various species of sunfish, American eel, carp and different varieties of trout.[2][3] Most of the trout are stocked by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, although the uppermost reaches of the river and some of its tributaries hold wild brown trout. These wild trout are threatened by increased residential use of lawn fertilizer which contributes to algae and weed growth.

​NEW JERSEY — Five New Jersey communities are among the Best Places to Live in America in 2025, according to a new ranking from Niche released Monday.

Now in its 11th year, the ranking from the data-driven platform Niche helps everyone from young people just starting their careers or families to retirees decide where they want to live. The report analyzes places of various sizes, including cities with populations of 100,000 or more, suburbs and neighborhoods.

In the Garden State, the following towns were among the top 100 on the list. Here's what Niche highlighted:

34. Ho-Ho-Kus, with an overall Niche grade of A+. This Bergen County community got high marks for its public schools and for being good for families, offering a rural feel while still being close to New York City.

35. Princeton, with an overall Niche grade of A+. The review noted an abundance of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks in Princeton, and that it is a good place for both young professionals and families. It also got top marks for public schools and being a good place to raise a family.

65. Ridgewood, with an overall Niche grade of A+. The village, which is just south of Ho-Ho-Kus, also got top marks for public schools and being a good place to raise a family. Reviewers highlighted the number of parks and local businesses.

71. River Edge, with an overall Niche grade of A+. The third Bergen County entrant on this list, River Edge was noted for its "small town" vibe and good local restaurants, public school system, and safety.

79. Princeton Junction, with an overall Niche grade of A+. Reviewers highlighted the local parks, public transportation, and ample job opportunities. It also got top marks for public schools and being a good place to raise a family.
​
The rankings are based on a wide range of public data sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, combined with millions of resident reviews.
Niche said it analyzed thousands of communities to compile this year’s ranking. Community attributes considered in developing the list included the health of the local housing market, neighborhood diversity, area public schools and walkability, among others. (More on methodology.)
