Egg Harbor City–Batsto–Pleasant Mills; unnumbered roads.
Macadamized roadbed.
The route runs north to the smooth-flowing Mullica River and turns
west to follow the course of the stream through the pines and cedars of
Green Bank State Forest. Traversing a forgotten remnant of South Jersey's
earlier days, the road passes several "forgotten villages," sites of Colonial
industrial development.
North from US 30 (see Tour 23) at EGG HARBOR CITY, 0 m. (63
alt., 3,478 pop.) (see Tour 23), on Green Bank Rd., a macadamized highway, to FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PARK, 3 miles (athletic fields, play-grounds, bathing beach). Much of the work on the 500-acre municipally
owned park has been done by the WPA.
The road passes between tree-bordered twin lakes fed by Indian Cabin
Creek, where shaded pools attract many fishermen.
At 4.2 m. is the junction with Gloucester Rd., a dirt thoroughfare.
Egg Harbor City to Pleasant Mills, 12.1 miles.
Garage service and restaurants at Egg Harbor City; a few filling stations along the
route.
