But after discovering the Batsto River Paddle Route in Hammonton, New Jersey, I changed my mind about kayaking. This could very well be the best water trail in New Jersey. Grab your equipment and let’s check out this scenic paddle route. However, unless you’ve launched a kayak on the Batsto River, you’re missing out on one of the most incredible outdoor adventures in New Jersey. Because of the pleasant weather and high water levels, this scenic trail is great from spring through fall.
