Hiking through the Garden State is always great, but many of our top parks are usually pretty crowded. Is there anywhere to go for a long walk in New Jersey where you can truly clear your head, take in the beauty of nature, and maybe not encounter anyone for miles around? It’s possible, especially in winter, at Maurice River Bluffs Preserve. This natural area is a haven for fishing, birding, and hiking, and it’s located near the unique arts-driven town of Millville. So when you’re done exploring the museums in the area, head to the Maurice River Bluffs Trail, a 5.3-mile loop trail. It’s considered an easy route that takes close to two hours to complete on a sustained hike, but it has some surprisingly unique terrain along the way. Come with us and discover why this might be your new favorite adventure!
