Hike at Maurice Rivers Bluff-Millville NJ
Join us for this hike in the beautiful Maurice Rivers Bluff Preserve and connect with nature and friends!!
Named for its majestic rounded cliffs overlooking the 35.4-mile “Wild and Scenic” Maurice River, this 500-acre preserve offers hilly terrain not often found in southern New Jersey. The preserve provides crucial stopover habitat for migrating and breeding birds, including songbirds, waterfowl, and raptors like nesting osprey and bald eagles. The nature preserve also hosts productive freshwater ponds and unique plant communities, including some of New Jersey’s largest contiguous wild rice marshes. The preserve is a freshwater haven for the many species of insects that make their home here.
This is considered an intermediate hike, 4 miles in length. Please wear layers and sturdy close toed shoes. You’ll also want to bring water and snack to nourish your body. We practice “Leave No Trace” principles.
