Upper Mullica Access provides a 4-mile paddling route from Jackson Road to Goshen Pond suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers with good boat handling skills.

Access is via a sand road near the Jackson Road Bridge (Route 534), with a 50-yard carry through brush to the river; a water level gauge on the bridge's north side helps determine conditions.

Paddlers should expect numerous downed trees requiring portages, narrow stretches (5-15 feet wide) with overhanging branches, and steel cables strung across the river—bring a saw and clippers, and use a canoe rather than a kayak for easier maneuvering around obstacles.
