The Great Bay Boulevard Wildlife Management Area in Ocean County is 5,982 acres of fresh, brackish and saltwater estuary and islands acquired with funding from hunters and anglers, Green Acres and the sale of waterfowl stamps. The boulevard is a narrow two-lane road that was the beginning of a causeway to the shore that would have connected Great Bay to Atlantic City.

The road was never opened, but now provides access to a great sweep of salt marsh, with opportunities for fishing, birdwatching or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. Great Bay is considered one of the least-disturbed marine wetland habitats in the northeastern United States.

-- NJDEP

Crab Island and its "Stinkhouse" are part of the Great Bay Boulevard Wildlife Management Area and trespassing is prohibited, although this is poorly documented. The rest of the WMA seems to have no restrictions for kayaking. The Rutgers Field Station is a science facility and should be treated as private property.
