Great Egg Harbor River

Nearly all of the Great Egg Harbor River system lies within an area of more than one million acres traditionally known as the Pine Barrens. The Great Egg Harbor River was studied and designated into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in 1992 based on its outstandingly remarkable cultural, historic, recreational and natural resource values and became a cooperatively-managed unit of the National Park System.
