South River

Near to here is the small little town of Mays Landing, actually the County Seat for Atlantic County.  It is a pretty little town with a rich and varied history.  Home to Lake Lenape and the headwaters of the Great Egg Harbor River,  water is never far away in this sleepy little crossroads of a town.

Just outside of town is the South River, a Tributary of the Great Egg Harbor River.  Flowing from the low swampy areas just south of town,  it's an area redolent of listless waters the colour of well brewed tea.  The stuff of life, born from the rotting vegetation deep within the swamps that cover South Jersey.
