A Wild and Scenic river through the New Jersey Pine Barrens — the Great Egg Harbor flows 57 miles from Camden County to the Atlantic Ocean at Ocean City. Tea-colored water winds through Atlantic white cedar swamps, pitch pine forests, and tidal salt marsh. One of the cleanest rivers on the Eastern Seaboard, filtered through the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer that underlies the Pine Barrens.
