- Jersey Pine Barrens WeekendWharton State Forest, Hammonton, NJ
Please read everything carefully before responding!
This summer, join us for a weekend of camping and paddling in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The Pine Barrens are like nothing in our area: gentle but twisty narrow rivers through sandy forests.
You can bring a rec kayak, white water kayak or canoe for this trip. The rivers flow slowly, but you need to be comfortable turning your boat—these rivers are nothing but turns! Our plan is to paddle the Wading and Batsto Rivers, although we may have to switch to other rivers in the area depending upon water levels at that time.
There are purposefully no spots on Meetup for this event.
You must be an LVKCC member to go on tis trip.
