Oldmans Creek is a tidal creek in southern New Jersey, offering a scenic paddling route. The primary and most developed access point for paddlers is the Oldmans Creek Preserve, located at 21 Main Street/Auburn Road in Auburn, with a dock available for launching. Parking is available at this preserve. Another potential launch is from the vicinity of Harrisonville Dam on Route 130, providing access to both Harrisonville Lake and Oldmans Creek itself. However, launching into the creek from this western point involves a portage over a gravel farm road and may be obstructed by fallen trees until passing the Swedesboro-Woodstown Road downstream. The creek's character is influenced by the tide, as one organized trip involved paddling upstream from the preserve dock, indicating that planning around tidal currents is necessary. The route from Route 130 to the Oldmans Creek Preserve is scenic, passing through natural areas. The surrounding environment includes flora and fauna typical of a coastal creek, and the preserve itself has historical significance related to the area of Auburn. Facilities at the Oldmans Creek Preserve may include bathrooms. Paddlers must provide their own kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard and are required to have a life jacket. Wheels are recommended for transporting craft from parking to the dock at the preserve.
