The majesty of the 70,000-acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is breathtaking year-round. The surrounding area has 15 state parks and recreation areas along with numerous private campgrounds. One of the last primeval forests in North America can be seen at the William L. Hutcheson Memorial Forest in East Millstone.
 
One of New Jersey's great natural wonders, is the 1.1 million-acre Pine Barrens Reserve, one of the state's great natural wonders, that is filled with more than 1,000 species of plants and animals, and is a wilderness haven for campers, hikers and canoeists.

Stroll along 127-miles of picturesque white sand beaches, experience the fast-paced excitement of numerous amusement parks or take a relaxing and romantic moonlit saunter down one of New Jersey's world-famous boardwalks. And-of course-headline entertainment and world-class casino gaming are signature activities of Atlantic City, one of the nation's premier entertainment resorts.

Long Beach Island is a haven for swimmers, sunbathers and sightseers alike. And the Island has great seafood, the famous Barnegat Lighthouse, amusements and more.
