Category<\/strong>: Waterbodies & Other Wetlands \"Losen<\/a><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Located in the northeastern portion of the HMD, running along Losen Slote Creek Park, Mehrhof Pond, and the northern tip of the Empire Tract. The creek begins outside of the HMD in Little Ferry, and runs along the border of Little Ferry and Moonachie, then along the border of Little Ferry and South Hackensack, before it outlets into the Hackensack River in Bergen County.<\/p>\n

Current Land Use<\/strong>: Open Water<\/p>\n

Site Description<\/strong>: Losen Slote Creek (also known as Eckles Creek) is not influenced by tidal waters due to a tide gate located near its outlet into the Hackensack River. The tide gate was installed by the Bergen County Mosquito Commission, sometime around 1921. The creek receives freshwater inputs from surrounding areas. There are freshwater meadows and forested wetlands located along the banks.<\/p>\n
