Batsto-Mullica Loop (No Shuttle)
Tue, 05/10/2011 - 2:01pm
I saw a mention of this trip on this wbesite but was wondering if anyone has the details on the put in / take-out locations. In other words, trip is described as follows:
Walk from take-out to put-in. Easy sections of Batsto (downstream) and Mullica (upstream).
So I'm trying to figure out where I put in at the upper end, then take out to cross over to the Mullica river.
Also, any idea of the distance of the carries between the two rivers.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I've never paddled it with PCC, but you can put into the Mullica at the Pleasant Mills access (the usual Mullica Take-out) and paddle upstream to Constable Bridge (the first major bridge upstream). At Constable Bridge, take out on the right as you go upstream, and the Batsto is only yards away from the Mullica. You might want to find the path through the brush before you start lugging your boat. Then you paddle down the Batsto to the usual access spot. And hike back to the Mullica access.
