Reviews
Great place to stop for anything outdoors. I have enjoyed walking the dog with endless trails and beautiful views. The whole place seems well kept and heavily monitored as Ranger training is in the area. I saw some NJDEP folks pulling litter from the wetlands.
Great place in Pine Barrens to enjoy hiking and year-round greenery. Its main transport arteries are quite trafficked though since there are shooting ranges in the midst, it’s also quite popular with fishermen. No restroom amenities of any kind since it is WMA, there are multiple parking areas though. Today I have hiked loop segment of NJ State Long trail, it is quite beautiful especially the section along Turnmill Pond. The fly in ointment were close shooting sounds from range right next to the trail.
This spot is a great place to visit if you enjoy driving down dirt roads and anything outdoors. There’s a ton of land to it and I find it very relaxing to be there. There’s a few lakes to go to fishing at or enjoy the view and hangout. There’s also a few hiking trails to go on as well. If you decide to drive further enough you’ll also find a nice little spot with a dam and it always has a perfect view of the sunset. Overall if you are in the central Jersey area I would highly recommend stopping by here and taking it all in.
Nice secluded wildlife management area. Fishing, hunting, etc. Good for photography, or a walk. Nice place to get outside without the crowding at local parks.
Absolutely fantastic place to enjoy with kids. We went last week, it’s safe to have fun from inside the car..
