Hiking from river to river

[ex-lion tamer]

Anyone know if there's a way to get to the Mullica River Camp from the Batsto River?

I'm paddling the Batsto next month, and it'd be nice to stock up on water at the Mullica camp if I can hike there. From the maps and satellite photos I've looked at, there doesn't appear to be a proper trail.

Thanks!

Your best best is to bring enough water from the get-go.

Thanks, I plan to -- but I drink a lot of water! Seriously, maybe it's time to invest in a filtration system...

There is a road that goes to Mullica camp. It starts on Quaker Bridge Rd almost exactly 2 miles from Atsion. There is a sign on a tree that says Mullica Camp. You can drive most of the way but will have to hike the rest. Just hike in with your water and stash it in the woods someplace.

You can hike the Mullica River trail . It starts at Atsion and goes to Batsto.If memory serves me right the whole trail is 9 miles one way and I believe the Mullica Campsite is about halfway...

Actually I just checked my trail logs and its only 2.5 mile hike from Atsion to Mullica Camp Site.

It is 2.5 miles to the "No Motor Vehicles" sign. You still have a way to go after that.

Thanks for all the tips. The water-stashing idea's a great one.

We don't need no stinking proper trail! We don't need no stinking trail at all!

Sorry, I could'nt resist that Oregon man. I'm just teasing. I'm sure in Oregon you've been in some really wild places.

Yep, really wild and really far away from "civilization" -- i.e., no residual urban light pollution, and no beer-can-strewing yahoos in pickups (or roads for them to ride in on, either).
