Despite the common term "pine barrens," the pinelands of New Jersey are anything but barren.

This flat sandy expanse of former ocean bottom is a wealth of wildlife, including species unique to the area. Local tree frogs are renowned for their nighttime peeping and duck-like quacking.

At around 114,000 acres, the pinelands of Wharton State Forest represent a major near-wilderness break in the Boston-Washington metropolitan corridor.

A significant historical attraction in the state forest in Batsto Village, which dates back to pre-Revolutionary times and offers a cross-section of American industrial development.

Although wheeled dog-sledding is catching on at Wharton, most recreation is more traditional. There are 500 miles of sand roads and trails for biking and horseback riding. A sizeable portion of the state's Batona Trail runs through the forest, offering excellent hiking.

Canoeing on four narrow, twisty streams is easy and relaxing, although the fishing is limited by the naturally-occurring acidic waters.

There are cabins and nine year-round campgrounds, including backcountry sites — two are accessible only by canoe.

While entry is free, during summer there is a fee charged for parking weekends at Batsto and daily at Atsion Recreation Area.
