Headwaters

Mullica River

Berlin Township, NJ

It was 14 years ago when we were full of energy and got up early to take photos that we decided to try to find the headwaters of the Mullica River. The county map showed that it should have been near Route 73 in Berlin Township, NJ. We drove out Taunton Avenue, stopping to take a photo of part of the river there. We did the same thing off Cooper Avenue. Here we ran into a police officer who asked what we were looking at. We explained about wanting to find the headwaters of the Mullica River but, stopped to see take photos of the pond. There was a lone goose on the pond. He said that the right side of the woods we could follow a little bit along the waters edge but, that if we continued to the County leaf recycling facility, we would be able to walk back to the headwaters. We walked a bit along the right side of the pond and finally returning to our car followed the officer's advise. We found the headwaters.
