Has anyone attempted to do a stand up paddleboard trip (instead of canoes/kayaks) on any of the familiar routes along the rivers in the Pine Barrens? I know I'd have to remove my fin, but I think it would be a pretty great experience, especially since it's easy to port across shallow...

All, It's been awhile since I posted here. I've been living away from the Pinelands for almost 5 years now. I do get back every once in awhile as family is still there. But now I'm up in Boston (been here for a year) and I have the luxury of having a fairly big garden space that currently has...

All, This Friday through Sunday, there is a music festival at Paradise Lake Camprground in Hammonton, NJ off Rte. 206. I've gone to the past 2 and they've been a great time. There are about 20 bands, mostly local to the South Jersey and Philadelphia area. The music ranges from jam...

Morning, Just figured I'd pass this along to everyone. This weekend, starting on Friday, May 11, is the Spring Camp Jam in the Pines @ Paradise Lake campground. Most of the artists are bluegrass, folk with a few blues, rock and soul acts, so it's pretty diverse. Tony Trishka and his bluegrass...

Hey all, I wanted to suggest something, as last weekend I went out to Quaker Bridge by myself to just get away from the city life (I now live in Philadelphia, Northern Liberties to be exact). There was a bunch of trash scattered about so I cleaned up most of it by the bridge. There are...

All, Don't know if this has been posted, but I was just perusing the NJ State Forestry website as I do time to time to see if they have updated anything useful. Noticed this change in the title of 'Park Rangers'. I'm not sure if this is an exact change but I've never seen this logo before...

All, This is something that my friends and I have been pondering for awhile everytime we go out in the Pine Barrens, as we usually hang out around the woods surrounding Goshen Pond. We're all big fans of outdoor live music, some of us musicians, some of us just making stabs at it for fun...

All, I'm sure you're all waking up from sleeping in a bit on a nice pre-snowstorm cloudy day. I can feel it in the air as I sit in my apartment in Philly getting ready to pack up and head back to South Jersey. I love snow but I love it even more when it hits areas that hate winter weather so...

I went out for a cruise this morning (around 9:00, 9:30 am) because it was such great fall weather. While I was on my way to Friendship, on the paved portion of Caranza Rd, I saw a firetruck coming towards me, no lights on, and not really speeding. However, after that, I was coming up to one of...

All, I'm sure you've heard of this by now, but it saddens me. This area has some of our favorite 'spots' in the Pine Barrens. Wharton Forest Fire - 250 Acres Burned so Far Hopefully, it will be under control soon and I can observe the damage tonight. Justin

All, I was out exploring from 6:30 pm until about 11:30 pm last night. What an amazing evening. It was still in the low 60's around 11:30. We usually don't see days like this until summer! We ended up at Mount around 11 pm and the stars were awesome. I was suprised as after sunset, we didn't...

Hi all, I uploaded a bunch of pictures I took today at Moore's Meadow Rd. There was still some ice/snow on the bogs so they looked amazing during the sunset. I posted them on my webiste and will soon upload them to this site. Moore's Meadow Pictures There's one I stiched together as...

Not sure if anyone travels Atsion Rd. between Rte. 206 and Willow Grove (it's my daily route to exploring in the pines) but it seems they are widening the road by a substantial amount and intruding into the forest. There are stakes about 3 to 4 feet off of the tarmac on each side. I'll get a...

Evening all, I haven't seen this posted but as you all know, October is Pinelands appreciation month, and the eve is upon us. There is an event at Whitesbog this Sunday, October 3rd from 10 PM to 4 PM. I know there is going to be music, food, and presentations/booths from PPA (I think)...

Hey all, Haven't been around in awhile. I'm in the midst of leaving my current job and starting anew somewhere better and I haven't had the time to come aboard often to write some posts. I bring good news. My search for a capable Pine Barrens vehicle has ended. This weekend, I purchased a...

What's up everyone? We recently finished production testing of DEP's new application iMap Geology here at OGIS. I know another application was recently released from DEP, but this one should really excite our message board. It's not even on DEP's front page yet! There is a topo layer on...

On an overnight hike yesterday into today along the Mullica River Trail in Wharton State Forest, we came upon a snake in our path: Pine snake? I assume that it is a pine snake but I wasn't sure. It was about 5+ ft. long. About 10 ft. down the trail, I noticed a snake skin in the brush...
