With covered pavilions, dozens of tables, and grills Pakim Pond is picnic central. For anglers, it is freshwater fishing heaven, especially for sunfish, pickerel and catfish. But you’ll have to do it from the shore – there are no launches and motor boats are a no-no.

For folks interested in unusual foliage, it is a great place to check out a wide array of carnivorous plants in the wild. The 5-acre pond is surrounded by the Forest’s pine-oak and pitch pine forests.

Want to spend more time here?  There are three cabins on the shores of Pakim Pond that are available April - October.  Contact the NJ Division of Parks and Forestry for details and reservations.
