SPECIAL DAY TRIP -- Great Egg Harbor River -- Penny Pot to Lake Lenape!

Come celebrate my Special Day with a big paddle down the Great Egg Harbor River! This trip is Penny Pot to Lake Lenape Boat Ramp, a 17 mile trip. OCSJ have recently run Penny Pot to the Weymouth Forge, and we know that is clear. We believe that the Forge to the Lake is mostly clear as well. Cutting and clearing has happened all season and portages depend on the water conditions. Typically, we get down with no problem.

The Penny Pot Park is a small parcel of land located at Spur 561 and Eighth Ave. (right off of Route 322) in Folsom. There is a bridge out further down the road (resulting in the road being closed) but the Park is open for local traffic. Drive past the cones to get to the park.

Starting point is Penny Pot Park, ending at the beautiful Lake Lenape. This is a good trip for intermediate paddlers, not recommended for new folks due to debris, hazards and water height. Guests are welcome! This is a minimum of 8 hours trip (17 miles) so expect to spend the entire day. The river is winding and water conditions vary at this time of year. There is usually beautiful flora and fauna along the way and historic sites to be seen. We will be stopping along the way for lunch and swim.

-water

-lunch
-pfd (life jacket) -- this is mandatory!
