Maurice River (More...)

The Maurice River flows through what was once an oyster harvesting town; you can still see buildings and activities related to this industry. The river supports New Jersey's largest stand of wild rice and 53 percent of the animal species that New Jersey has recognized as endangered, excluding marine mammals.
The Maurice River is a critical link between the Pinelands National Reserve and the Delaware Estuary -- both nationally and internationally important. The Maurice River corridor serves as the western boundary of the Pinelands and includes the cities of Vineland and Millville, and the Townships of Maurice River, Commercial and Buena Vista.
The Maurice National Scenic and Recreational River is located near the urban centers of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Trenton and Camden, New Jersey; and Wilmington, Delaware.
