Matts Landing Road provides public boat ramp access to the Maurice River in Cumberland County, NJ. Located in the Heislerville area, this access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users looking to explore this scenic South Jersey waterway. The launch is situated at a mid-bay location on the Maurice River, offering convenient entry to the water for various paddling and boating activities.
The Maurice River is known for its productive fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. The area supports diverse migratory bird populations and other wildlife, particularly through nearby Cape May National Wildlife Refuge. Paddlers can expect a saltwater or brackish environment typical of New Jersey's coastal river systems. Several marinas in the Heislerville vicinity (including Popeye's Marina at 140 Matts Landing Road) offer additional services such as fuel, supplies, and boat storage for those needing support before or after their outing.
Before launching, check local tide and weather conditions, as conditions on coastal river systems can change significantly. Contact local marinas or the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife for current information about water conditions and any seasonal paddling considerations for the Maurice River.
