I was wondering if some of you could recommend me some places to go explore. I have done a lot of exploring throughout Wharton but mostly the more common places. Please let me know where you recommend. Thanks so much!
Places to go

Spend a little while studying the map - NJPB Live Maps is a good place to start. You will surely find something that arouses your sense of curiosity. If not, then maybe you've already seen it all. 
Have you been to various locations on the Parker Preserve? It not, drive to these places and park at the gate on the road and walk the preserve.

The only way to find places is to get out out your car and walk the woods. This is the perfect time of the year (other than the snow) to do this.

Park here and walk the road towards Atsion Lake.

You will cross Salters Ditch along the way.
Further up the ditch at another location
If you do this post back and I will tell you the location of the county monument along this route. Exploring by walking is the best and really the only way to find things of interest.

You might try looking over all the very good articles that Ben has on his site, and his historic map section at the link in the headers. Tons of great info. The fun comes with the planning and exploration.

Ok thanks so much everyone! for the good ideas. I will look into all of the maps. Most of my exploration is on foot!
TeeGate I have been to plastic bridge and have been down that road to the crossing you were talking about. I would love to find the county marker though!

You can easily walk to it by bypassing the thick woods on the way there. There is a path.
