Over the weekend I found myself at Batsto where I noticed a nature trail marked with orange and yellow blazes that I hadn't seen before. So I hiked a couple miles out and was pleasantly surprised. That trail must have been built in the past few years and it's very nice. It's well marked and features several nice bridges that were evidently built by the civil engineers from McGuire AFB - there's a sign at the larger one that's dated 1999. Anyway, it made for a very pleasant and scenic walk that was a "no brainer" since it's so well marked. It sort of criss-crosses the Mullica and its branches. Along the way there are signs which point to various types of pinelands vegetation.
They seem to have done a very nice job developing a trail network around Batsto recently. I imagine there are a lot of people around there during the summer, but this time of year you can have it pretty much to yourself.
