The Maurice River is a 50-mile long tributary of the Delaware River in southern New Jersey. It was originally inhabited by the Lenape people and was named after Maurice, Prince of Orange. Today, it is known for its rich history, diverse hydrology, and recreational opportunities. The river flows through forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands before emptying into the Delaware Bay. It is home to several reservoirs and dams, including Union Lake and Willow Grove Lake, which provide drinking water to nearby communities. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching, and supports local agriculture, including cranberry and blueberry farming. The Maurice River is a vital natural resource for the region, and efforts are underway to protect and preserve its ecosystem.
