  Dam Release, swift but mainly flat water, with a rollicking Class II wave train at the end.
  Experienced paddlers. Cold weather & water clothing necessary

  Weymouth Furnace to Lake Lenape. Fairly easy pine barrens river. Some tricky turns early on, easy middle and Lake Lenape at the end, where, if the the wind is in your face-Hell. If at your back-Heaven.

  Fascinating, exciting Class I-II river with ledge drops almost every 50 yards.

• Middle Schuylkill
  This is a very pretty part of our home river, cleaner as well.
  Take out near Valley Forge. Sea kayakers and beginners are welcome
• Mullica River
  Pine Barrens river through several habitats. Water level determines length-long or very long.
  A Wild and Scenic River. Novices with endurance are welcome.
• Cedar Creek
  Girl Scout camp to Lanoka Harbor. One of our very favorite rivers. Challenging early on, but most of its fairly easy, depending on water level. A must for those who have not run it. Average skills.
• Great Egg Harbor River
  Penny Pot to Weymouth Furnace. Moderately twisty, interesting stream of intermediate length needing average or intermediate skills. Lot of swim and snack spots.

  Paddle around the shores of this pretty lake. Practice your paddle skills. Have a picnic. Easy and fun filled day.
• Oswego River
  One of the prettiest and easiest streams in the Pine Barrens.
  Beginners Welcome.
• Maurice River
  Here it is, with its poison ivy, its many carry-overs, its beauty and its incredible fun
  Long, don't make evening plans
• Westecunk Creek
  A Little gem of a trip. Begins as a twisty little river but slow, after a great lunch spot, opens up to a marsh, then to open bay. Birds. A challenge, but open to novices.
• Upper Cedar Creek
  One of the twistiest rivers you'll ever be on. Very pretty, no dangers. A challenge you'll enjoy.
• Batsto River-Upstream
  Another pretty Pine Barrens River, which we paddle upstream (can be some challenge, usually not) and back down (easy) with great stops for swimming.
• Toms River
  From the edge of the Pine Barrens into a city. Clean and pretty. A longish trips but well worth it. Average skills needed.
• The Bechtels
  Camp and paddle at John and Barbara's new place. Lots of rivers, bays and etc to paddle. Patuxent, Potomac and Chesapeake.
• Family Day at Marsh Creek State Park
  Come with your kids for a day of paddling and picnicking at Marsh Creek State Park. Pretty Lake. Teach, learn...Fun for all.
• Wading River
  Very popular, lots of rentals, noise, yet a great paddle, a pretty river, lots of places to stop, a dam. It's all there. Can be a very long trip.
