Tour 23A
Egg Harbor City–Batsto–Pleasant Mills

Egg Harbor City–Batsto–Pleasant Mills; unnumbered roads.
Egg Harbor City to Pleasant Mills, 12.1 miles.

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.
