Port Warren is an unincorporated community located within Greenwich Township in Warren County, New Jersey.[1]
Inclined Plane 9 West of the Morris Canal was located here. It was the largest plane of the canal and also one of only three double-track planes.[2] The plane tender's house is now the Jim and Mary Lee Morris Canal Museum.[3] The interaction of the Lopatcong Creek with the canal resulted in building an overflow and waste weir downstream of the inclined plane.[4]
