The southern terminus of the Baton Trail use to be where bass river crosses the road next to absegami lake.It now appears from the road ( i followed it about a half mile) that the trail extends south across the blacktop and past the old CCC camp.Does anyone know if this is a legitimate extension and if so where does it wind up at?

That trail is a 3 mile loop.. It is not part of the Batona.. If you go to the ranger station at Bass River you can get a cheap paper map of that Pink Blazed trail as well as a couple other trails within Bass River. Using Pink blazes was just poor judgement.. I mistakingly hiked that trail during my Batona Hike back in August 2006..The trail parrallels stage road from Bass River..Once you get to your first road crossing Off the CCC trailget off the CCC trail walk up stage road about 100 yds and you will see the First actual Batona Trail blaze on the right hand side of the road after a small bridge..
