2016 – A New Start
In the Winter of 2016, Mike and Kimmie Iles purchased the former Sweetwater Casino. Before buying the property, the Iles family had spent over 30 summers on the Mullica River. Knowing the memories “The Casino” held for so many, Mike and Kim considered themselves very lucky to give life back to one of South Jersey’s best-kept secrets.
In the Summer of 2016, the Iles family began operating the property under a new name, the “Sweetwater Marina & Riverdeck.” From 2016-2019, thousands of people flocked to the Riverdeck and some were shocked to find that the local favorite was just a glorified party tent with a large bar underneath and about 50 picnic tables out on the lawn.
Despite its modest appearance, people quickly realized that The Riverdeck’s laid-back style was one of the best things about the destination! Families enjoyed being able to let their kids play while dining and friends enjoyed sitting back and relaxing by the riverside.
