So the cabin fever has gotten to me and the fam so we are going on a 3 day 2 night hiking/camping trip on the Batona Trail. Called up the offices and got all the info and we are going out in about two weeks. Now trying to decide on a campsite/campground. We are considering starting at Batsto so...

OK let me get the "dumb question of the day" taken care of.... Where is the "entrance?

Sounds interesting.

Looks like I'm gonna have to bump the thread! Went out to the Bass River office. Didn't make it in time though they were closed. But grabbed one of maps. Been looking at the map along with your pics and comments. Had a terrible time finding it. The GPS took us to some campground off of the other...

I'm emailing the superintendent of Belleplain as we speak. Gonna throw around ideas. I will suggest a snipers nest to pick em off but I doubt they'll go for that one lol.

It *WOULD* be better if the put some kinda dumpster/receptacles out there. Its still no excuse though....

Who's the developer? Maybe they could be convinced to turn it over to someone else? I'm really surprised at this! On surprised it hasn't been made a state park etc. I'm wondering what we can do???

Well I called them and made arrangements for the trash. I noticed so much more than the amount I was able to pick up. All the way down to the other entrance of the trail as well as the other side of the street. Gonna take at least 5 more bags. And I haven't even started on Ponds Trail and Pickle...

Just got back from there. Got two full bags of junk mainly bottles. Accidentally pulled someones dead dog out of the ground....ewwww. Gonna have to call the Belleplain office about that. Its just insane how people can just throw that much stuff all around like that. Now I gotta figure out...

As I understand what I'm reading, people are trying to ruin it? Develop it?

Well I shot them an email with some ideas....we'll see what they say!

Wow. Never heard of the FRMs until now. Look like a great place for a hike and visit. Overnight camp?

I'm wondering if doing an overnighter is allowed on the hiking trails around the Belleplain area such as East Creek Trail or Ponds Trail. I've always wanted to "snow camp" and I'd like to try it there since its fairly close to home in case things go bad.

Was by there the other day and was just livid by all the trash just thrown around at the launch area. Maddening. Beer cans, the cartons, liqour bottles thrown all over. I may go out there tomorrow and pick up as much as I can depending on the weather. But I'd really like to catch these morons...

Cool. I don't fish I just explore and photograph. Its a small world that someone recognizes ya on a forum lol. Actually In have been researching Batona lately too. I just did the little Ponds Trail both ways the other day. I got a bad case of chiggers myself a couple of weeks ago. Doused myself...

Hmmm, right now I'd have to say that my favorite place is the East Creek Lake and trail area. I've snapped some phenomenal pics there, some I've sent to a contact in the state for use in their literature and website. When I meet the requirements I'll post some of them.

Hi everyone. First post here. I've always been an "out in the woods" person and now I've been starting to explore the hiking trails as well as the lakes in the pine barrens. I live practically at the southern tip of the region, down in Dennis township, so I've been hiking and kayaking at East...
