It would be great to see a pano of the Harrisville ruins - just a suggestion.

I talked to the folks at Bel Haven today - Rt 542 at Batsto is closed indefinitely - the problem is the bridge at Pleasant Mills, and the one at Batsto needs to be inspected. Batsto Lake is not accessable now but may be later if the bridge ever gets inspected and passes. Micks was doing a...

I just did the Oswego River on Wednesday. It was the only river open at the time and it was really moving fast (I flipped my kayak); however, the water level was receding and it should be very doable unless we get more heavy rain. I also did the Mullica above Atsion Lake about a month ago after...

Labor Day I put into the West Br of the Wading River at 563 and headed upstream. I saw several beaver and beaver lodges - had a big one splash right next to my kayak scaring the poo out of me Waterfall, but an easy portage around Saw this on the bank - too small to sleep in and nothing...

Who would clear it? I talked to the people at Micks and BHP and they said they clear the Oswego, Wading, Mullica & Batsto Rivers when needed because that's where their business is, but does anyone clear the Great Egg Harbor River in the above mentioned area? Do you know of any canoe/kayak rental...

Thanks. A little while after I posted that I checked out the "Paddling in the Pines" web site http://www.njpinelandsanddownjersey.com/open/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=12&MMN_position=37:3 They indicate a paddle from New Brooklyn Lake down to Piney Hallow Road...

I grew up in Collingswood (went to Collingswood High) and now live in ATCO. There are so many nice swimming holes in many of the pine barrens rivers, like the Wading River, that are easy to get to by car. But since you kayak, you could just take your boat down one of the rivers and stop at one...

I took a walk out to the Blue Hole today (which was actually black due to all the rain) and could have kicked myself for not bringing a camera. I met a couple on the opposite side of the Great Egg Harbor River near the Hole. Their plan was to swim to the middle of the Blue Hole with a life...

"The first time ZI seen this spot was from a canoe and me and Whip got stuck on the falls thinking that this was the main channel.I have since learned the right hand channel facing upstream is the way to go. Al Where did you put in - Speedwell?

Ticks r luvin this!

Many years ago I read an article (maybe in popular mechanics?) about building a rail bike that could travel down abandoned rail beds using one of the rails. Has anyone seen this?

Great for kayaking

I did a moonlight kayak tour around the marshes of Stone Harbor last Friday starting at the wetlands institute - fantastic! We started at the institute...... Juice, cheese and cracker break on the wetlands After the break... Full moon!

OK I just pulled the NJPB map of the area and hit the terrain button - now I know what I did. The first trip I took the first right fork of the upper Oswego. This is shown on the map as an unnamed tributary and makes contact with Alan Rd. The second trip I didn't take this tributary and stayed...

"It's the West Branch that runs through Speedwell. Chips Folly is on the Wading River proper, downstream from the confluence of the East and West branches. Thanks!

Please help me out with this, I'm looking at the satellite photos of the Wading River but getting lost in the bogs and reservoirs. I'm familiar with its course from Speedwell down, but can't figure out what it does above Speedwell. The west branch of the Wading River flows under 563 and connects...

In a post dated April 4, 2002 Ed stated that he had made a trip by wooden canoe from Chatsworth Lake, starting at the West Branch of the Wading River, all the way down to Chips Folly and the Mullica River. There wasn't too much detail on his trip down. I think I'll explore the possibilities as...

Has anyone kayaked the West Branch of the Wading River recently upstream from 563 to Chatsworth Lake, or downstream from Chatsworth Lake past the 563 bridge? I was wondering how passable the West Branch is especially with the restoration that's going on in the Franklin Parker preserve.

"Gabe and I have been wanting to do a weekday paddle to avoid the crowds, we just never set the day or the river. This would be the perfect time to go. I contacted Gabe on Monday and we made plans to do the paddle on Thursday but with the forecast for thunderstorms Thursday afternoon we made the...
