Manumuskin River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manumuskin River is a tributary of the Maurice River, approximately 12 mi (19 km) long, in southern New Jersey in the United States. It flows through a relatively pristine forested area in the southern Pinelands of Cumberland County, as well as arborvitae bogs and salt marshes in its lower reaches.
It rises approximately 5 mi (8 km) east of Vineland and flows SSW, joining the navigable estuary of the Maurice from the northeast approximately 5 mi (8 km) SSE of Millville and approximately 7 mi (11 km) upstream from the mouth of the Maurice on Delaware Bay.
Approximately 3500 acres (14 km²) of the watershed of the river are included in the Manumuskin River Preserve, established in 1983, the largest conservancy of its kind in New Jersey. Parts of the river are also designed as part of the Maurice Wild and Scenic River.
