MISSION STATEMENT

"A social paddlesport community; with a Point of View!"

Bel Haven "Buddies" is an informal group of BHP customers and friends with a common interest in paddling the scenic and ecologically diverse rivers and lakes of South Jersey. 

BHP’s management is delighted to facilitate the adventures of Bel Haven "Buddies" by bringing the group together with able historians, photographers, astronomers, environmentalists, naturalists, fishermen and others for paddling tours with a point of view. 

Typically, BHP provides transportation of paddlers and their boats (private and/or rentals) from the Green Bank store to the put-ins and back from the take-outs for a very nominal fee.

Add to your enjoyment of paddling in the Pinelands with those who know and are happy to share the forest and rivers from their unique perspectives.


Weeknight and/or weekend group paddling trips. Please inform us of your paddling preferences so that we may organize a "Bel Haven Buddies" experience!
