Things to Do

Bear Swamp Wildlife Management Area

Large state-managed forest and wetland habitat on the Kittatinny Ridge. Follow NJ Fish & Wildlife rules and seasonal hunting notices.

Lake Communities

Visitor Tips

A Newton mailing address does not necessarily mean a site is in the Town of Newton; verify the municipality.
Private lake communities generally restrict beaches, docks and boating to members and guests.
Wildlife-management areas remain open to regulated hunting, so hikers should check seasonal rules.
Windy Acres is an RV campground rather than a tent campground.
