SPOTLIGHT

Scotland Run Park

Some places were just meant for picnics. And boating. And fishing. That’s Scotland Run Park. You can’t beat 940 acres of parkland and trails for hiking or biking and the 80-acre Wilson Lake. Add in the nature center, where naturalists host dozens of programs for kids and adults, and Scotland Run Park is the perfect place for a picnic … and so much more.

Greenwich Lake Park

The 40-acre spring-fed Greenwich Lake is stocked with trout and open year-round for fishing. The park's boat launch is open on weekends only during the summer season. Visitors also can enjoy watching wildlife in the natural surroundings, use picnic tables and grills and a playground. A picnic shelter and restrooms are available.

Karl Anderson, a Woodbury resident and biologist, specializes in botany. He recently assisted the Gloucester County Nature Club with its book, Natural Places of Gloucester County New Jersey. Anderson provided a wealth of knowledge about local plants and helped to write and edit many of the book's scenic site descriptions. To acculmulate information, Anderson searched for trail systems throughout Gloucester and visited tax offices to unearth information about parks and refuges.

Lake Kandle Campground and Swim Club

No wonder there isalways a waiting list for one of the 120 campsites at Lake Kandle campground. There are so many amenities and activities here -- a fully-stocked lake for fishing and boating, a huge new pool, paddle boats, a playground, ball courts and a jam-packed activities schedule -- that it takes the whole season to do it all. Which works out well since all the campsites are full-season rentals.

Mood's Farm Market

Since the 1870s – yes, that’s almost 140 years, the Mood Family has tilled the soil here in Gloucester County, growing farm-fresh produce. Now you can pick your own or just drop by the farm market and stock up on whatever the farmers have brought in from the fields. When the temps drop, drop by again for their apple and pumpkin hayride events.

Red Bank Battlefield Park

The park is aprow. 44 acres and provides a passive recreational area, riverside walking paths, playgrounds and picnic areas. There is a herb garden located near the kitchen door with herbs grown and cared for by a group of volunteers. This is also the historic site of Fort Mercer, one of the twin military installations which guarded the Philadelphia harbor and all communities north of Philadelphia along the Delaware River while the American Revolution

Tall Pines Day Camp

Tall Pines Day Camp brings superior quality to private day camping for children. Tall Pines is both State Certified and is accredited by the American Camp Association. From the air-conditioned transportation system to the air-conditioned facilities, Tall Pines is a Delaware Valley premier day camp.

Woodbury Farmers' Market

What’s for dinner? That depends on what the farmers who live near Woodbury have brought in from their fields. Every Thursday between June and early October, about a dozen farmers, bakers and other merchants bring their Jersey Fresh produce and home made specialties to the Woodbury Farmers’ Market. It is a fun, nutritious and tasty way to support South Jersey’s tradition of the family farm and get that fresh-picked flavor you just can’t get from a supermarket.
