 VISIT THE HOWELL LIVING HISTORY FARM
Woodens Lane, Lambertville, NJ
Tel: (609) 737-3299

The Howell Living History Farm in Lambertville NJ is a great

place to bring kids. The best day to go is on Saturday as they
have events every Saturday. If you visit on other days you are
on your own for a self guided tour only, so try to go on a
Saturday. The farm has a lot to offer and you could spend
almost the whole say there. Pictured to the left is a pasture
that you will pass as you are entering the Farm. After you
park your car you need to visit the office and sign in.
Admission is free but they do charge about $3 for some of the
fun activities. After you check in, you have to take a little walk, to all the farm action. It is a
nice little walk with some great farmland views.

The Howell Living History Farm takes you back to the year 1900 where you can actually help
doing things around the farm. Depending on what they are doing that day you feel as if you
actually lived in that era. The Farmer pictured on the left was very friendly and informative
as she taught us history of the Farm and the animals. The kids helped care for the
animals and swept the barn.

You might go on a horse and buggy to the field and harvest corn then head back to the
barnyard and help shell it and grind it and bake it into corn bread. You might make soap,
butter or ice cream. The day we went, we helped the Farmers pick tomatoes then we
cleaned them, crushed them, and learned how to cook and can the tomatoes!

For $3 we got a nice decorative jar and all the ingredients to fill the jar so you could bake
your own cookies when you get home. There were two lovely ladies who helped the children
put the flour, sugar, salt and chocolate chips as well as all of other ingredients in the jar. We
then were able to pick out a cloth pattern and ribbon to tie to our jar. Kids will love to get
involved and make their own cookies!

There is also a fabulous 19th century kitchen where you can get lunch for very reasonable
prices. We had a New Jersey Tomato stuffed with homemade chicken salad. We also had
fresh tomato Gazpacho that was out of this world. Ham sandwiches were available for the
little ones as well as home baked pies and soft drinks. We all ate for under $10!

The cute three little pigs will come running when you come to visit them. They will let you
pet them and the kids went absolutely nuts over them! If you are lucky enough they will be
feeding right next to you.

You get to go into a small barn where all the little baby chicks are running around. They are
quick even at a young age and one of the farmers said that even she can hardly catch them!
The farmer teaches you all about the baby chicks and will answer any questions that you
may have.

 SPEND THE DAY IN NEW HOPE

New Hope is a charming little village nestled along the Delaware River and Delaware Canal
that conjures up visions of a by-gone era. Located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, this
sophisticated little gem of a town represents different things to different people. To some,
New Hope is the place to visit art galleries. To others, it's a place to spend enchanting
romantic weekends, cuddled up by the fire at one of the many beautifully restored inns, or
walking down by the riverside. New Hope's natural beauty has always been mesmerizing.

New Hope has always been a place to escape the humdrum routine into a magical fantasy
experience. Performing arts are more alive and progressive in New Hope than in most cities,
five, even ten times its size. It's an easy trip from New York, Philadelphia and most parts of
New Jersey, perfect for dining in one of our many nationally renowned restaurants, or taking
in a show or concert at one of the many theatres in the area. Day trips to New Hope are
easy to fill with things to do - ferry rides, visits to historic sites, carriage rides, mule barge
rides, and of course, shopping. New Hope is a Shoppers Paradise with over 100 shops,
offering local crafts, as well as, beautiful items from around the world.

The streets of New Hope are few (only four: Main Street, North and South, Bridge Street,
Ferry Street and Mechanic Street), plus quaint little alley-ways and side streets where
visitors can wander along the cobblestone walks, finding many surprising nooks and
crannies. Throughout the year, the many active New Hope associations and groups provide
events. For instance, the town will become "The Enchanted Christmas Village" with the glow
of white lights and streets lined with candles. New Hope believes in serving up its holidays
the old-fashioned way, with plenty of charm and history.

New Hope's history is an important part of its attraction. It is just a few miles from
Washington's Crossing. It was here that Washington crossed the Delaware to fight the Battle
of Trenton in the American Revolution. There are important historic sites in and around New
Hope attached to this private historic event. William Penn owned the original parcel of land
that eventually became New Hope and signed it over in 1681 to another owner. It changed
hands several times until the American Revolution. After the war, Benjamin Parry began
operating two mills here, which burned down in 1790. When they were rebuilt they were
called the "New Hope Mills", offering new hope to the entire town.

Today New Hope continues the tradition of bringing the world a positive "new hope" by
preserving its own unique tradition of offering its visitors an experience you cannot find
anywhere else...a fantasy, an escape into the arts, a page turned back in history. Welcome
to New Hope.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade
March 17, 2011
NYC
The St. Patrick's Day Parade on Fifth Avenue is a New York City's tradition. The Parade
marched for the first time 249 years ago, on March 17, 1762 - fourteen Years before the
Declaration of Independence. The parade is held to honor the Patron Saint of Ireland and the
Archdiocese of New York and celebrates Irish Faith and heritage.

Greek Independence Day Parade

March 27, 2011, NYC
Greece celebrates its Independence on March 25th, which is also the day Gabriel announced
to Mary that she was with child. In 1821, Greeks vigorously rose up against the oppressive

National Basketball Association
Toronto, Canada was the site of the National Basketball League's first game on Nov. 1, 1946,
with the Huskies hosting the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens. Thirteen
original rules were drafted by Dr. James Naismith, creator of basketball. Pro basketball
suffered in popularity in the early 1950's, but one rule change -- that of the 24-second clock
-- transformed the sport from a dull, stalling game to an exciting, offensive showcase. Icons
along the way, from Bob Cousy and Wilt Chamberlain to Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and
Michael Jordan, have immortalized what's now the National Basketball Association's game,
creating long-standing rivalries from coast to coast. Philadelphia 76ers - To book seats to

College Basketball
First devised by James Naismith in 1891, with the first recorded collegiate game in 1893,

a flick of the wrist. NCAA basketball brings grass roots hoop dreams to an entirely new level

pieces of flat glass then melting them together. (Takes a lot of patience.) - Slumping is
heating glass just enough that it bends over a mold to make a shape. (Think specialty sinks.)

Macculloch Hall Museum and Gardens

229
45 Macculloch Avenue, Morristown, NJ
Tel: (973) 538-2404
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is the cornerstone of Morristown’s National Historic
District. George Macculloch, a Scotsman born in Bombay, immigrated to America from
London with his wife and two children in 1806. Settling in Morristown in 1810, Macculloch
began building his Federal-style brick mansion on his new 26-acre gentleman farm. A
businessman, scholar, and visionary, Macculloch is best known as the Father of the Morris
Canal, an international engineering marvel. Originally, the Macculloch Family owned 26
acres of land surrounding their house, much of it used as farmland and orchards. Wisteria
planted along the porch arbor was brought to Macculloch Hall circa 1857 by Commodore
Matthew Perry as a gift to Sen. and Mrs. Miller. Perry opened China and Japan to American
trading in the mid-1850s. Among the sixty-five varieties of roses, many considered
heirloomor pre-1920s, are two bushes that have defied identification and have been named
Old Macculloch Hall Roses. It is possible that these roses have survived from the earliest
period of the Macculloch’ residency and were brought from England.

States, delivered to Newburgh, New York.
Also known as the Berrien Mansion, the original two rooms of the farmhouse were built
between 1702 and1710. Enlarged into a grander home in the 1760\'\'s by Judge John
Berrien, the house and grounds are preserved and interpreted as the temporary residence of

 TOUR BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY
1 Riverside Drive, Camden, NJ
Tel: (866) 877-6262 | (856) 966-1652

During World War II, New Jersey shelled targets on Guam and Okinawa, and screened
aircraft carriers conducting raids in the Marshall Islands. During the Korean War, she was
involved in raids up and down the North Korean coast, after which she was decommissioned
into the United States Navy reserve fleets, better known as the "mothball fleet". She was
briefly reactivated in 1968 and sent to Vietnam to support U.S. troops, serving as the only
U.S. battleship to provide gunfire support during the Vietnam War. After returning to the
mothball fleet in 1969, she was reactivated once more in the 1980s as part of the 600-ship
Navy program and modernized to carry missiles and recommissioned for service. In 1983,
she participated in U.S. operations during the Lebanese Civil War.

New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991, having earned a Navy Unit
Commendation for service in Vietnam and 19 battle and campaign stars for combat
operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War,
and service in the Persian Gulf. After a brief retention in the mothball fleet, she was donated
to the Home Port Alliance in Camden, New Jersey, and began her career as a museum ship.

America's most decorated Battleship is now the area's most exciting museum, open for
tours, events and overnight encampments. Exploring “BB62” is experiencing history in a
whole new way. Not only do you see exhibits of artifacts from the ship’s past, but you are
put into the exhibit as you go through the tour route. Sit in the chair from which Admiral
Halsey commanded the fleet. Stretch out on the bunks where the sailors slept. Climb into
the 16” gun turret and learn how the projectiles were loaded.

From the moment you step across the ship’s brow you will understand that this is a museum
where visitors take an active role. From strolling across forecastle to climbing the original
ladders up to the bridge, and beyond, each step in your journey brings you closer to
understanding what life was like for a sailor on the Battleship New Jersey.

 VISIT A CRANBERRY / BLUEBERRY BOG

Whitesbog Village
120 W Whites Bogs Rd # 34, Browns Mills, NJ
Tel: (609) 893-4646

The story of Whitesbog begins at the current site at Fort

Dix, the site of the former Hanover Iron Furnace. The
production of iron was a dynamic and important industry
in the Pines, but ultimately the most destructive. The
process of dredging the land and diverting water had a
devastating effect on the land. Ironically, it was the
physical conditions produced by the iron industry that
set the stage for cranberry cultivation. The American
cranberry grows naturally and extensively in swampy
areas of the North American temperate zone. The
cranberry thrived in the disturbed strip mined conditions
in the Pinelands.

Realizing the potential market for this crop, an

enterprising Colonel named James A. Fenwick purchased
a 490-acre tract which included the site of the former canal and canal pond that fed Hanover
Furnace during its operation. He proceeded to cultivate the land for cranberries. By the
1860's Colonel Fenwick's efforts proved to be successful and the cranberry boom began.
Land that was thought to be worthless was suddenly found capable of producing 30 to 60
barrels of cranberries worth about $10 each in American markets and $20 in Europe.

An enterprising young Elizabeth developed an

interest in cultivating the land between the
cranberry bogs where wild blueberries were
growing. Blueberries ripen earlier than do
cranberries. Their harvesting in July would
complement the cranberry harvest in September.
Many New Jersey farmers tried to cultivate the
plants in their gardens but without success. At the
time, it was generally accepted that blueberries
could not be cultivated. Elizabeth did not have the
scientific background or education necessary to
cultivate the fruit herself. However, in 1911 she
read about Dr. Frederick V. Coville's work in
blueberry cultivation. Realizing the potential value of this work, Elizabeth convinced her
father to support Dr. Coville's research. Elizabeth knew that the size of the cranberry
farming operation at Whitesbog could provide the financing and infrastructure necessary to
carry out experiments on a large scale. Dr. Coville agreed to do his research at Whitesbog.

The result of the blueberry research done at Whitesbog was the production of a new crop, as
well as the entirely new business of propagating and selling blueberry bushes. At its
production peak, Whitesbog had 90 acres of blueberries under cultivation. Elizabeth's
business prowess did not end with cultivation, in 1927 Elizabeth helped organize the New
Jersey Blueberry Cooperative Association. She was also the first woman member of the
American Cranberry Association and became its first female member to receive the New
Jersey Department of Agriculture's citation.Elizabeth became one of the first major growers
to move to the bogs in 1923. Ms. White lived at "Suningive," her home in Whitesbog Village,
next to her grandfather Fenwick's first bog, until her death in 1954.

Activities include:
• Whitesbog Driving Tour;

 DINNER/JOUSTING AT MEDIEVAL TIMES
Lyndhurst Castle

Overview:
Medieval Times is celebrating its 27-year reign in North America. Our founders first launched
their unique idea for an 11th century-style dinner attraction on the Spanish island of Majorca
in 1973. This imaginative new entertainment spot was inspired by the true medieval
tradition of royal families inviting guests to a festival and feast to watch knights compete on
horseback.

During the early years in Spain, the show's authentic display of classic equestrian skills and
medieval pageantry took place in outdoor arenas, a far cry from the climate-controlled
castles of today. There, the conventions of today's shows were established. Guests were
seated in sections named for regions of Medieval Spain and encouraged to cheer for the
Knight representing their region.

As Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament has grown in popularity internationally, some
things haven't changed -- like our commitment to the accuracy of weapons and costumes.
Others have: the characters and storyline of our show evolve every few years, keeping the
experience fresh and exciting for generations to come.

Bill of Fare:
• Garlic Bread
• Tomato Bisque Soup
• Oven-Roasted Chicken
• Spare Rib
• Herb-Basted Potato

science today? And they exist in the Skylands of New Jersey, just an hour from midtown New
York.

GO HIKING ON A NJ TRAIL

Bearfort Ridge
West Milford Township, NJ
Located in the Abram S. Hewitt State Forest, under the administration of the Wawayanda
State Park. While its rough nature and difficult trails are far from unique, the ridge offers
something you won't find often in New Jersey: a bare and unprotected trail.

Beaver Brook Trail

Morristown, NJ
Located within the Mahlon Dickerson Rerservation. Features some of the most unusual
sights in New Jersey, and will make you work hard to enjoy them. Long and tiring ascents
and descents, dangerous footing and a narrow trail will be in your way to enjoy some of the
best shy wildlife sightings in the area.

Black River Trail

Chester Township, NJ
Located in Cooper Mill Park. Combining history with one of the most varied pieces of nature
in northern New Jersey, the Black River area is perfect for hikers who look for something less
strenuous and more entertaining. Families will love hiking here, as will wildlife observers, but
even those who look for some good old-fashioned long-distance walking will not be
disappointed.

Boonton Falls Trail and Waterfall

Boonton, NJ
Many people do not know is that Boonton is home to a beautiful and spectacular waterfall.
Boonton Falls is awesome in its power and a surprisingly well kept secret.

Branch Brook Park

Newark, NJ
Branch Brook Park is not really a place to hike. In fact, unless you live nearby, it is not worth
your time. That is, except of the middle of April, when all of its 2100 cherry trees are in full
bloom...

Carris Hill
Ringwood, NJ
One of the most difficult short hikes in New Jersey. It has not the streepest climb, nor it is
the longest hike. However, the layout of the trails is rather unconventional: you start by
descending, which would place one last ascend into your way when returning, and some
parts of descend from the top of the hill are difficult.

Farny Highlands Trail

The Farny Highlands Trail Network consists of 3 Trails which range about 30 Miles. The trails
are not widely known to people in Mountain Lakes. The Farny Highlands region, is a huge,
rugged, primative, 35,000-acre wilderness less than 10 miles away.

Flat Rock Brook Nature Center

Englewood, NJ
More hiking and walking trails with a small nature center. Ramapo Reservation Loop. See
rushing streams, ruins, and incredible water falls!

Great Swamp
Basking Ridge, NJ
Conveniently located in the greater Metro area, does not offer any challenging hikes. In fact,
you will find here some of the easiest trails ever. You will be surrounded by the sounds of

247
civilization - cars, planes, work noises. And you will be swarmed by hordes of people and
mosquitoes alike. Yet, I do highly recommend you visit the Great Swamp at least once.

High Mountain Preserve Park

Wayne Township, NJ
One of the best places to hike in northeastern New Jersey. In fact, I have yet to find a place
as pristine and quiet as High Mountain, north of I-80 and east of I-287. The park offers very
varied terrain, ranging from wet and muddy valleys to bare hilltops and anything in-
between. With about 12-15 marked trails and twice as much unmarked trail, the park offers
better hikes than you'd expect to find in the middle of urban sprawl.

High Point
Sussex, NJ
Awesome view (High Point is the highest point in New Jersey). The park offers a few cabins
you can rent, a small beach at Lake Marcia, and lots of picnic facilities. While you won't find
big grassy areas for summer sports, the picnic locations offer some little privacy. Expect lots
of tourists visiting the Monument when the weather is warmer. In addition, Lake Steenykill,
Sawmill Lake and Big Flatbrook offer some fishing opportunities.

Jenny Jump
Hope, NJ
One of the most beautiful and soothing hikes ever. Plenty of shade and a slight breeze, very
few hikers, and some of the best marked trails in New Jersey. You may find the state park a
bit eerie, because of the names you will encounter. Jenny Jump, according to the legend,
became the name of the region after a father with a daughter, Jenny, were ambushed by the
Minsi tribe of the Lenni Lenape. The father yelled at his daughter to jump, in order to save
her purity. However, that's not all - there is a lake called Ghost Lake (name subscribed to a
massacre between two native tribes), and a local road called Shades of Death Road. No local
I asked could explain the road name, however

Jockey Hollow
Morristown, NJ
Serving as the winter encampments of George Washington's troops in 1779-1780, Jockey
Hollow merges history with some decent hiking. In addition to the trails, the following hike
will allow you to take a guided tour through a mid-1700s farmhouse and the reconstruction
of the soldiers' barracks.

Kittatinny Ridge
Branchville, NJ
The Kittatiny Ridge hike is tucked away between better-known parts of the Appalachian Trail
system. Just south, you have the Delaware Water Gap, while to the north is Stokes State
Forest and behind it High Point. It would be unwise to ignore the ridge, though. It offers
great variety - from swampy areas, through open forest, to one of the best eastwards views
in the New Jersey portion of the Appalachian Trail. It also offers lots of wildlife: spotting a
black bear or deer in the morning is not unusual, and rattlesnakes and copperheads like to
catch some sun in the afternoons. It also offers great workout for beginning hikers. With the
exception of one steep but very short climb, the hike is relatively level.

Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

Morristown, NJ
The largest reservation in Morris County is relatively unknown. While there are some busy
days when the trails are full of hikers, bikers and horseback riders, all too often you'll be
able to find some solitude here, or at least the escape from the hectic world. Offering a lake,
a scenic vista, multiple streams, swamps, a railroad bed, but also playgrounds, a softball
field, picnic tables and trails for horses, the reservation is a boon for everybody who is
willing to get out of the house.

Merrill Creek Reservoir

248
Washington, NJ
If there were awards handed out for the best-hidden treasures, Merrill Creek Reservoir would
certainly receive one of them. It is actually pretty well known in its immediate area, and
even hiking books that cover the entire New Jersey tend to mention it, but finding the place
may not be too easy. Once you do, however, you will be treated to one of the most beautiful
hikes for beginners, as well as varied wildlife, different terrains and one of the cleanest trails
around.

Millbrook Village
Millbrook, NJ
Located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Take The Millbrook
Hiking Tour! Pick up the Millbrook Village Trail that goes to Donkey's Hollow Trail. Heading
south from here along Van Campens Glen Trail takes the hiker past the Watergate Picnic
Area, the Upper Falls, and the Lower Falls to the Lower Glen Picnic Area on Old Mine Road.
The hiker can then hike north along Old Mine Road back to Millbrook Village or turn around
and return on the Van Campens Glen Trail.

Mount Hope
Wharton, NJ
Mount Hope Historical Park is one of the most overlooked parks in the state. While providing
little to see and even less to hike, it is still worth the visit when you have a few free hours.
Offering about three miles of marked trails with only small portion of them being on an even
level, the hiking may be challenging. Combine that with a piece of history and the sight of
dozens of iron ore mines, and you have something unique you should not miss.

Mount Tammany
Columbia, NJ
Located in the Worthington State Forest, the hike to the top of Mount Tammany is one of the
most rewarding hikes you could ever take. The trail has one of the largest vertical
differentials in New Jersey; it rises 1200 feet within less than 2 miles. Because of this, there
are sections you will have to climb, or at least crawl up. However, the view is worth it. Sitting
on an almost-overhang on the top of the Delaware Water Gap and enjoying the view is one
in a lifetime experience.

NJ Costal Heritage Trail Route

The Trail will show you roads less traveled where you can find historic villages, migrating
eagles, and boardwalks on miles of sandy beaches. This auto-trail stretches nearly 300 miles
along New Jersey’s shore and bays. Explore the Trail’s five regions and you’ll find the
nation’s oldest operating lighthouse; the town where revolutionaries burned British tea; and
the state’s official tall ship.

Palisades Interstate Park

Alpine, NJ
Located in the metro area, jut of the George Washington Bridge, the Palisades offer a great
one-day escape for beginning hikers. In addition to the great view you will get, you will have
the choice of numerous trails, as well as great resting places. Includes cliffs, water and
monuments.

Pyramid Mountain
Montville, NJ / Boonton, NJ
Offers a strange combination of hiking terrains, camp sites and views. Well known and
wisited by the locals, this park does not offer long hiking trails, but due to the varried
terrain, they can pose a challenge. Combine it with a few spectacular views and an easy
access, and you have a popular outdoor area. Add to it a few less known places, and you
have a place to go to.

Raccoon Ridge
Hardwick Township, NJ

249
A portion of the Appalachian Trail stuck between the Kittatinny Ridge hike and Mount
Tammany, the Raccoon Ridge hike offers a relatively easy climb, rewarded by what's
probably the best view of Eastern Pennsylvania from New Jersey.

Ringwood Manor
Ringwood, NJ
There are two hiking trails. The first hike will get you familiar with the immediate area
surrounding the manor house, while the second hike is longer and more challenging, leading
you to all major attractions in the Ringwood State Park.
• The Ringwood Manor Loop
One of the easiest hikes you are likely to take in New Jersey. Only 1.5 miles long with
gentle elevation changes, the trail offers a nice relaxing walk for the whole family.
Considering the fact that Ringwood Manor offers the perfect afternoon picnic spot in
the northwest, this hike is a nice addition to a relaxing weekend afternoon.
• The Shepherd Lake Loop
Ringwood Manor is usually associated with nice afternoon walks in a well-maintained
garden. As such, it may come as a surprise that the area offers one of the wildest
hikes of Northern New Jersey. In fact, when I first hiked the Shepherd Lake loop, I was
shocked at how difficult the hike was, how wild the surrounding nature looked and
how few people I met. The next time, I was able to conserve my strength much
better, but the rugged nature surrounding the trail is still awing me. The following
hike will lead you from the manor house to Shepherd Lake, and through a small
backwoods loop to the Skylands Manor and New Jersey Botanical Gardens before
returning back to where you began.

Round Valley
Lebanon, NJ
Since the 1970s when the Round Valley Reservoir was created, it has been a favorite spot
for fishers, swimmers, scuba divers, hikers and bikers, as well as for people who enjoy the
simple pleasures of camping and boating. 180 feet deep, the reservoir is the deepest one in
New Jersey and the only one to accommodate lake trout, which occasionally grows to over
20 pounds here. The crystal-clear waters are inviting, and the surrounding forests offer a
relatively easy yet beautiful hike.

Stairway to Heaven
Hewitt, NJ
Stairway to Heaven is one of the most fulfilling hikes you are likely to take in northern New
Jersey. The westward view, without any doubt the best you can get on a hike in this area, is
the prefect reward for a relatively difficult climb. Combine that with very varied scenery, and
you'll get one of the best hiking experiences you'll ever get. I rank this hike among my five
most favorite, for a good reason.

Stokes State Forest

Branchville, NJ
A hiker’s paradise. While offering very little is the terms of sights, it features a large variety
of trails of a total length of over 45 miles. While the trails are harder than the average New
Jersey hiking trail, the variety will suit every hiker. Combine this with relatively few hikers,
and you get an excellent place to work out.

South Mountain Reservation

West Orange, NJ
Located conveniently in the greater metro area and accessible by train, South Mountain
Reservation can still surprise with its rough terrain and enough hiking trails to satisfy almost
everyone. Combined with great views, places of historical significance, fishing and rock
climbing places, the reservation offers plenty of entertainment for nearly anybody.

Terrace Pond
Hewitt, NJ

250
Part of Wawayanda State Park in the Bearfort Ridge area. One of those unique places, where
within a few miles you can see almost every possible terrain you can imagine. From rock
climbing, to wide flat woods roads, from a dense undergrowth to a mountain lake, from
swamps to peaks offering nice views - everything is represented here. A little away from
main hiking routes, this hike remains relatively unknown.

Watchung Reservation
Mountainside, NJ
One of the worst marked parks in New Jersey, Watchung Reservation has only one
advantage - it is inside of the Metro area, very close to I-78 and Summit. It offers several
trails (so badly marked that I have to mention it again), a few historical places, but very little
elevation. Most of the time, you will be surrounded by sounds of civilzation - cars, other
people and plains. If you still decide to hike here, read further. If not, check the other
activities listed towards the end of this review.

Wawayanda State Park

Hewitt, NJ
I cannot say that Waywanda State Park is among my most favorite ones. True, it offers
different and challenging hikes, terrain ranging from hilly to swampy and a large lake, the
park is infested with weekend hikers, bike riders and horses. That's right: a major portion of
the park is open to horses.

The Wetlands institute

Stone Harbor, NJ
The Wetlands institute in Stone Harbor overlooks 6,000 acres of coastal wetlands. Walk the
nature trails or check out the observation tower. Their Salt Marsh Trail takes visitors into the
marsh where you will witness views of migratory birds, fiddler crabs and other creatures are
up close and personal. Along the trail, several stations provide visitors with information on
what is growing and living all around them. At trail’s end, there is a 125' pier that stretches
out over a tidal creek where you can observe one of the worlds’s largest colonies of laughing
gulls. Or, you can simply sit, rest and enjoy a truly beautiful and peaceful vista. During the
summer season, guided walks, featuring an informative film about the wetlands, begin
Monday–Saturday at 10AM, Noon & 2PM and Sundays at 11AM & 1PM.

Wharton State Forest

Pemberton, NJ (and numerous other cities)
NJ State Park with some awesome Hiking trails. The largest single tract of land in the state
park system of New Jersey, it encompasses approximately 115,000 acres (470 km2) of the
Pinelands northwest of Hammonton, in Burlington, Camden, and Atlantic counties. Includes
Batsto Village.

Worthington State Forest

Columbia, NJ
Delaware Water Gap is one of the most visited parks in New Jersey. Even though the
following hike can be quite strenuous for people who are out of shape, on a nice day the
trails will be full of people with their dogs or children. Those who know me know that I'm not
too fond of crowds on trails. Still, I am willing to suffer them to do as nice a hike as this one.

251
 HAVE A BEER AT THE VERY FIRST BREW PUB IN NJ
The Ship Inn - 61 Bridge St. Milford, NJ
Tel - (908) 995-0188

The Ship was opened in May 1985 after extensive renovations to the 1860′s Victorian
building. The building, known as The Town Tavern was originally a bakery and then an ice
cream parlor with a speak-easy in the back room during the Prohibition Era.
In the 1950′s and sixties, the building housed a two lane bowling
alley and served employees of the now-defunct paper mill. In
1985, Ann and David Hall purchased The Town Tavern, and
transformed it into The Ship Inn, serving Watney’s Red Barrel,
John Courage Ale, Guinness, and our renowned fish and
chips and shepherd’s pie.

The Ship was once again transformed in late 1994 to make

way for a new 7 barrel brewing system, additional dining
adjacent to the brew house, a new kitchen and restrooms,
and wheelchair accessibility from Honeysuckle Lane.

On January 3rd 1995, The Ship was proud to become the

first in New Jersey to brew beer for consumption on premise
since the days of Prohibition.

The Ship Inn offers casual dining, British and American

pub savories, freshly brewed beer, and live
entertainment in a traditional English pub atmosphere.
We endeavor to provide simple, honest, home-made food from local and ecologically
responsible sources when possible.

Each week we brew fine hand-crafted ales in 7 barrel batches using freshly milled whole
grain. Our unfiltered beers are made in a Peter Austin system complete with handmade
brick, copper and open fermenters in the old English tradition.

Hours: The kitchen is open Sunday-Thursday, Noon-9 pm, Friday-Saturday, Noon-9:30 pm.
The bar stays open with the crowd.
Happy Hour Mon-Fri 4pm - 6:30pm at the bar
Open Mic Tuesdays Tues 9pm

Explanation of Whitewater Rafting Classes:

Class I: EASY Fast moving water with small waves. Few obstructions, all obvious and easily
missed with little training. Risk to swimmers is slight; self-rescue is easy. Perfect for
beginners
Class II: NOVICE Straightforward rapids with wide, clear channels . Occasional
maneuvering may be required, but rocks and medium sized waves are easily missed by
trained paddlers. Perfect for beginners
Class III: INTERMEDIATE Rapids with moderate, irregular waves which may be difficult to
avoid and which can swamp an open raft. Complex maneuvers in fast current and good boat
control in tight passages or around ledges are often required. Scouting is advisable for
inexperienced parties. Injuries while swimming are rare; self-rescue is usually easy.
Class IV: ADVANCED Intense, powerful but predictable rapids requiring precise boat
handling in turbulent water.may feature large, unavoidable waves and holes or constricted
passages demanding fast maneuvers under pressure Scouting may be necessary the first
time down. Risk of injury to swimmers is moderate to high
Class V EXPERT: Extremely long, obstructed, or very violent rapids which expose a paddler
to added risk. Drops may contain large, unavoidable waves and holes or steep, congested
chutes with complex, demanding routes. Rapids may continue for long distances between
pools, demanding a high level of fitness. Swims are dangerous, and rescue is often difficult
even for experts. There are 3 more levels to this class 5.1 - 5.2 - and 5.3
Class VI :EXTREME AND EXPLORATORY These runs are only attempted by experts.
Unpredictability and danger levels are high. Extreme turbulent waters are present. The
consequences of errors are very severe and rescue may be impossible. For teams of experts
284
only, at favorable water levels, after close personal inspection and taking all precautions.
After a Class VI rapids has been run many times, It's rating may be changed to an
apppropriate Class 5.x rating.
The seasons help determine water roughness. Spring thaw provides huge volumes of water
that runs very fast. Fall often brings dam releases. It is during these periods that you can run
a class III or higher. During the summer months the water is usually calm. Perfect for
beginners and smaller children.

• The Lehigh and Delaware both fall within Class II – III

• The Hudson, up by Hudson River Gorge is a IV - V

• The Moose is a V and VI

Bridgewater Sports Arena

1425 Frontier Rd. Bridgewater NJ
Tel: (732) 627-0006
Laser Zone is a 21st century version of capture the flag.
Three teams compete for points in this intense game, you
and your team will run around in a black light lit arena with
fog. When you are playing your best bet it to aim for the
bases or the chest areas because they are worth the most
points and when playing it is always good to go for the
places with the most amount of points instead of trying to
be clever and aiming for harder places. To get rid of an
opponent shoot at them until their vest stops blinking, they
will become deactivated. Aiming at bases and teaming up
will help you a great deal, bases take some effort to shoot but when deactivated massive
amounts of points come your way. When you team up two lasers are better than one, with
two people it is easier to get more opponents. Moving in a counterclockwise motion will help
you to hit more targets, if you are right handed its easier to hit someone on the right instead
of the left, Right? When you get into Laser Zone use teamwork and make sure your team
comes up on top.
