I sprang for a WordPress plugin that lets me place live maps or satellite imagery in the website. There are three choices:

  • OpenMaps - excellent free street maps
  • GoogleMaps - not quite as good street maps from Google that may not be free
  • GoogleEarth - satellite imagery from Google that may not be free

I say may not be free because Google's terms are complicated and depend on the amount of traffic you get. I'm guessing it will be free, but I can't be sure yet. So far Google has not cost me anything.

New Jersey has far more put-ins and places to explore than I can ever get to. If you've been somewhere good, or bad, click that contact link and send me a description. Or you can click the Support button and send a couple of bucks to help with the web hosting, software, and other costs - this stuff is not free!

This site was recently deemed by Gargle as not having content worthy of being polluted by their ad-spam. Just as well.


I added live tide predictions to the sites that are tidal. Also added a weather page with forecasts and current conditions.


I decided to add a section on wildlife. So far I have done a bunch of birds.


Assunpink Lake is not a park, it is a "Wildlife Management Area", and falls under a completely different set of regulations, which you can find here:

  • https://dep.nj.gov/njfw/wildlife/wildlife-management-area-regulations

From the state website:

Any vehicle used to transport or launch a vessel or water conveyance on the following WMAs must have affixed to the lower corner of the driver’s side rear window a Boat Ramp Maintenance Permit or a photocopy of a current hunting, fishing or trapping license showing the Conservation ID Number (CID#). Identifying information other than the CID# may be blacked out to protect your identity. Boat Ramp Maintenance Permits may be purchased for a fee of $15.00 from any license agent or Fish and Wildlife’s license Web site (under “Wildlife Management Area Use Permits” after logging in and selecting to make a purchase).

About a mile long, in the Assunpink WMA. To the east you can find two other small lakes in the same watershed: Stone Tavern Lake, and Rising Sun Lake. Assunpink Creek drains into Lake Mercer, which is much larger than any of these.
