The Mullica River is one of New Jersey's most pristine waterways, flowing approximately 50.6 miles through the South Jersey Pinelands before emptying into Great Bay. Often referred to as New Jersey's wildest river, the Mullica offers exceptional fishing opportunities in a nearly untouched setting. About 20 miles of the river is navigable by standard-sized recreational vessels before transitioning to a narrow, shallow, timber-laden passage better suited for small skiffs, kayaks, and canoes. What makes the Mullica unique is its relatively undeveloped state, protected by strict wetlands and Pinelands laws that safeguard the watershed from overdevelopment. The river is fed by numerous tributaries including the Batsto, Bass, and Wading rivers, creating a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide variety of fish species throughout its freshwater, brackish, and saltwater sections.
