If you don’t know how to turn your canoe on a dime when you put in at your first Pinelands river, you will by the time you finish. These are narrow, winding rivers, full of sweeping curves and sharply angled switchbacks. Yet these twists and turns are very much a part of the mystique and the delight of paddling in New Jersey’s Pinelands.

Prospertown Lake – Jackson

 
 

  1. Prospertown Lake - Jackson [Details] [G] [B] (40.13497, -74.45779)

This is a nice clean lake that straddles the border between Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The neat thing about it is, if you scroll the map to the upper-right corner, that is not some industrial park, that is Great Adventure! This is the lake that is at the back of the park. At the east end of the lake, you are looking up at all the rides, while to the south is the Safari Park. You can see more water from there, but I wouldn’t jump any of the dykes, as that would put you on Great Adventure’s property, or maybe in the lion pen. It’s not a big lake, but there is plenty of shoreline to inspect. There is a small dam at the western end. No real facilities, just parking.

Swifts & Swallows

These are small birds that are often seen over water. They both feed on flying insects, which they catch on the wing, and over water seems to be a good place to do that. At night, these birds are replaced by bats, doing the same thing. You are unlikely to get a good look at any of these, as they are all very fast and agile fliers.
