The Mullica River is a scenic waterway located in southern New Jersey. It flows through the Pinelands National Reserve, a protected area known for its unique ecosystems and diverse wildlife. The river is approximately 45 miles long and is a popular destination for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The Mullica River originates from the Batsto River and eventually empties into the Great Egg Harbor Bay. Its waters are characterized by a dark, tea-like color due to the presence of tannins from decaying plant material. The river's surroundings feature lush forests and wetlands, making it an important habitat for various species.
