The waters of Cedar Creek spill into Delaware Bay at a place called Mispillion Light. It shares a common quality, along with Broadkill, Old Mill, and Prime Hook, of remoteness, minimal development, and a variety of distracting scenery. The marshes are exceptionally pleasant to explore as the grass is relatively short, allowing good views from the boat. To begin, the creek demands some tight maneuvering around sharp turns and under low-hanging limbs and deadfall to reach open water. Before long, it all opens up to a wide marsh lined by distant pine forest with a few summer homes scattered. While the surrounding scenery is spread way out, the creek is usually narrow. The best take-out is a public boat ramp about a quarter mile below Route 36 on the left.
