Trip, Great Egg Harbor River, Moving Water

Take advantage of the forecast for a high in the upper 50’s to paddle the wider middle section of this pine barrens river with a bit more current and fewer twists and turns than other South Jersey streams.  The trip time for this 9.9 mile paddle is approximately 4.5 hours.  We will take a break and eat lunch along the way.  The Great Egg Harbor River is 50 - 60 minutes from the Philadelphia Canoe Club.

Dress appropriately for cool/cold weather paddling.  There are many online sources of information on how to dress.  Click here for a link to one such online source from Paddle Boston.
