New Jersey’s Delaware Bayshore area has been described as the “Serengeti” of North America, and is one of the most productive ecosystems on the Atlantic Coast. If you’re looking for a weekend packed with wildlife, our Delaware Bayshore Trails won’t disappoint. We have created nine driving tours in the region, visiting salt marsh and cedar swamp, upland forest and sandy beaches and highlighting the coastal and migratory species that make this region special. Quaint back-bay villages, excellent seafood, and charming bed and breakfasts will make your visit to the South Jersey Bayshore an experience you won’t soon forget.

Located within the most populated metropolitan area in the United States — just four miles from its largest city, Manhattan — there lies a haven. It is being restored to benefit wildlife — native plants and animals — and also to benefit people by providing easy access to the wonders of Nature. Where? The Meadowlands. This guide will take you there and to many other wildlife-viewing sites in the Hackensack River watershed. Whether you’re looking for a fun family outing, a good fishing spot, or a secluded area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we’ve got a trip for you! Please, come and see.

We have created twelve driving tours in the region, encompassing astounding vistas from atop the Kittatinny Ridge, botanical jewels found only a few places in the world, glacial mountain lakes, recreational reservoirs, limestone valleys, gorgeous grasslands, and numerous pristine rivers.
