Mullica River Kayaking
Posted on 31 July 2009
Last weekend we went Kayak-Camping with the Wantuchs in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. We put our boats in to the Mullica river near Atsion lake, and travelled about 5 miles (more like 10 with all the twists and turns) before hitting the Mullica Wilderness camp.
There we set up camp, and what a wonderful camp it was!
The trip down was quite a challenge, as the river was loaded with snags and lift-overs, but we worked our way through. Still, we were hot and sweaty when we arrived, so having a river available for cooling off was quite a nice perk.
Everone just put their lifevests on, walked up river and floated back down – again and again.
It was a great time, and now I think everyone is excited about doing it again next year.
As a reward for our hard work, we stopped on the way home and picked up a supply of “celebration ribs” to commemorate a successful adventure. They were delicious!
Check out the rest of the photos here and here (the Wantuch’s set).
