Product Description
New Jersey is a state of surprises. Did you know there was a castle in Passaic County? Or that you could walk through a bamboo forest on the Rutgers University campus, dig for fossils in Middletown's Poricy Park, or see wild river otters in Salem County? Despite its proximity to major urban areas and its high population density, the state has dozens of marvelous natural areas and preserved spaces. It boasts something for everyone, from Atlantic seashore to rugged mountains, rolling farmland to winding canals, historic trails to formal gardens, pine barrens to fragrant vineyards and orchards. There are outings for everyone--newcomers to the state will find it indispensible, and long-time New Jerseyans will find it a pleasantly eye-opening guide to wonderful walks right in their own backyards. A Guide to Green New Jersey is your key to finding it all! - Conveniently organized into forty geographic areas - Features more than 200 nature walks and 40 photographs - Each entry includes directions, a description, visitor hours, fees, parking accessibility, and other pertinent information for walkers - Contains a guide to choosing an outing according to individual tastes and interests - Identifies sites that are wheelchair accessible, especially fun for kids, best for bicyclists, and those that are particularly challenging - Includes an index with the names of each site Lucy D. Rosenfeld and Marina Harrison have published six guidebooks together, most recently Southern Gardenwalks and Gardenwalks: 101 of the Best Gardens from Maine to Virginia.

I bought this book mostly because I am buying a lot of books about NJ and because I enjoy hiking. I truly didn't expect to learn anything I didn't already new but I was genuinely surprised. The book managed to avoid being simply a description of every state and county park by throwing in a wide array of things to do that involve long walks, including butterfly zoos, vineyards, battlfields, arboretums and flower gardens as well as cemteries. This variety truly keeps it intersting.If you enjoy being outdoors, this book will surely show you something you didn't know existed, and make you yern for a day off from work and a warm sunny day
