Hamilton-Trenton-Bordentown Marsh

Located southeast of Trenton in Hamilton Township, the 1,250 acre Hamilton-Trenton-Bordentown Marsh is the northernmost freshwater tidal marsh on the Delaware River. The marsh includes both tidal and nontidal marshland, forested swamp and upland and second-growth forest. The diverse habitat also supports an astonishing 550 species of plants, more then 230 species of birds and lots of mammals, amphibians and reptiles, many of which are rare and endangered species.

Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area

There isn't really much to do at Makepeace Lake WIldlife Management Area. Well, other than fishing. And hunting. And birding. And nature photography. And exploring the untouched 12,000 acres of pure Pinelands landscape. For outdoors fans, Makepeace Lake WMA is a giant natural playland filled with birds, wildlife and quiet places to escape city life.

Wharton State Forest

It is amazing how many activities, species of wildlife, unusual plants and other natural wonders can be packed into 115,111 acres. Name it and chances are, you can find it in Wharton State Forest, the largest single land tract within the NJ system of parks and forests. Throughout Wharton are rivers and streams for canoeing, trails for hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing, historic landmarks and secluded areas for camping and spotting wildlife.
