Boating on Great Egg Harbor River
This popular bald eagle nesting ground runs through southeast New Jersey on its way to the harbor along the Atlantic. Seventeen tributaries filter into the corridor after its modest inception in Berlin.

Most of the land traversed by Great Egg is within the boundaries of the Pinelands National Reserve, meaning a lot of it is privately owned and maintained land. The twenty or so percent that is considered public makes for great canoeing and kayaking as well as a great place to see endangered wildlife. Also, closer to the river’s mouth, sail boating can be an interesting endeavor.
