About This Access Site
Port Norris Marina offers a convenient boat ramp for accessing the Maurice River in Commercial Township, Cumberland County. This commercial facility is a popular launch point for boaters and paddlers exploring the lower Maurice River, particularly for those targeting striped bass and other species in the spring and fall. The marina also provides boat rentals for visitors without their own vessel.

The Maurice River in this area is a tidal estuary with moderate current, making it suitable for paddlers of varying experience levels, though conditions vary with tide. From Port Norris, paddlers have access to the river's lower reaches leading toward the Delaware Bay. Local boaters recommend using Port Norris as a primary launch point rather than upriver alternatives, as it provides a shorter distance to productive fishing and paddling areas. Plan your trip around tidal conditions, as this is saltwater habitat influenced by bay tides.

For current information on ramp conditions, hours, amenities, and rental availability, contact Port Norris Marina directly before your visit.
