You have a hankering to spend the day in the wilds of the Pinelands. Problem is, you don’t have a canoe or kayak. Mick’s Canoe Rental to the rescue.

Mick’s livery service can hook you up with canoes, kayaks (singles and doubles), paddles, life vests, and if you need a little comfort, cushions so you can paddle through the Oswego and Wading rivers in the Pinelands. And since they are the closest livery service to the rivers, you won’t have to waste a lot of time getting there. Fees for your rental includes transportation to your portage sight.

Depending on which river you take and how much time you want to put in, your trip can last anywhere from an hour to all day. If you want to camp, there are many state parks and private campgrounds located right along the rivers. Mick’s even makes that easy with links to various campsite reservations forms on their website.

But no matter how long your trip, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for all the wildflowers, trees, wildlife, birds and other critters you can see on the Pinelands waters. And because the rivers’ currents are usually a lazy 2-3 miles per hour, you’ll have plenty of time to settle back and enjoy the view.

And if you got a little too up-close-and-personal with nature and end up a little wet or muddy or just want to clean off, Mick’s has showers available at the end of your trip.
