Hiked in late May. Only completed portion from Atsion to where the trail makes a loop. Trail was definitely scenic, with blooming mountain laurel everywhere. I was somewhat disappointed by how loud the trail was because ORVs were zooming past me on an adjacent dirt road for most of day.
Nice flat and well marked trail. Roughly 6 miles worth of loose sand trail, rest is dirt or harder packed sand.
Very few areas bring the idea of "sense of place" to be fully realized as this section of the pinelands does.
The Mullica River Trail (yellow blazes) runs between Batsto Village and Atsion Village. 9.5 miles point to point, much of which is on sandy pine barren roads. It is very pretty with some good views of Beaver Pond and the Mullica River. you can start at either end and use Wilderness Camps Connector Trail (green blazes) to hook up with other trails (Batona and Beaver Pond) and make a loop. Very peaceful with almost no elevation changes, these are relatively easy trails.
