If you don’t know how to turn your canoe on a dime when you put in at your first Pinelands river, you will by the time you finish. These are narrow, winding rivers, full of sweeping curves and sharply angled switchbacks. Yet these twists and turns are very much a part of the mystique and the delight of paddling in New Jersey’s Pinelands.


Shark River
( 40.187859, -74.034606 )

  1. Shark River - Belmar ( 40.17946, -74.03743 )
  2. Shark River - Neptune ( 40.19364, -74.03092 )
  3. Shark River - Wall Township ( 40.19149, -74.05792 )

Shark River is not really a river, it is more of a saltwater lagoon with an outlet to the sea. The actual inlet would be a very bad place to go, with a lot of boat traffic and sometimes swift tidal current. The lagoon is much better, and I have marked two spots that are easy access and parking – both in public parks. Don’t try to use the boat ramp, you might get in trouble.
