Wharton State Forest – Atsion

IMG_1370

Detailed hike info, photos, video and GPX on our Wharton State Forest – Atsion to Quaker Bridge page. We always try to hike on New Year’s Day as it’s just a great way to start the year (and shake off the wine & cheese from the night before!) For New Years we wanted a hike [...]



Bass River State Forest

Detailed hike info and directions on our Bass River State Forest page. This is the first time we’d gotten around to checking out Bass River State Forest. We’d always headed to the other Pine Barrens area parks instead, mainly because I’d never had much info on the trails here. It doesn’t appear in any of [...]



Estelle Manor Park

Detailed hike info and directions on our Estelle Manor Park page. The weekend after New Years we found ourselves in southern Jersey for post-holiday gatherings two nights in a row, and took advantage of hotel stays to check out some smaller parks we wouldn’t normally drive down to: Estelle Manor Park and then the Woods of Wenonah the [...]



Belleplain State Forest – East Creek Trail

Hike details found on the Belleplain State Forest page. After a few weekend obligations and my nagging cold kept us from getting in any hikes other than a couple jaunts at Cheesequake, we were happy to get back out this weekend. Since we were dog-sitting in south Jersey we took advantage of having lodging only [...]



Wharton State Forest – Atsion to Quaker Bridge Loop

IMG_0039

Detailed hike info, photos, video and GPX on our Wharton State Forest – Atsion to Quaker Bridge page. This may be our favorite hike in the Pine Barrens. It’s the typical pine trees and packed sandy trails, but adds in views along the Mullica River and just seems to be the most scenic and pleasant route [...]



Brendan Byrne – Pakim Pond and Mt. Misery Trail

IMG_0027

Detailed hike info and directions on our Brendan Byrne State Forest page. We tried this hike nearly one year ago to the day but had to cut it short due to snow (see “Brendan Byrne – Pakim Pond/Mt. Misery Trail“). So this time we waited for the snow to be finally gone from South Jersey [...]



Double Trouble State Park

Double Trouble State Park Perimeter Trail

Detailed hike info and directions on our Double Trouble State Park page. With a name like “Double Trouble“, how can you not check out this park? But, somehow, we never had in all our years of hiking. Mainly because the New Jersey Walk Book listed it as having only a 1.5 mile trail, and driving [...]
