  Fall Hike at Friends of Great Swamp – Join Us!

  Saturday, November 15th | 10:00 AM | Friends of the Great Swamp, Harding Township

  Let’s spend a crisp fall morning exploring one of New Jersey’s most peaceful wildlife refuges. Join fellow NJ SWEP members - new and returning (nonmembers welcomed!) - for a relaxed nature walk through the trails surrounding the Wildlife Observation Center at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll meet in the Parking Lot by the Wildlife Observation Center at 10:00 AM and head out together from there.

  We’ll follow a just-under-2-mile route that winds through boardwalks, compacted stone dust trails, and natural woodland paths. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle grades - perfect for taking in the quiet beauty of the marshland and surrounding forest. This area is known for excellent birdwatching, so feel free to bring binoculars if you have them!

  Expect great conversation, fresh air, and a peaceful reset in nature.

  What to Bring:

  • Comfortable walking shoes

  • Water

  • Binoculars (optional but recommended — lots of bird activity here!)

  • Weather-friendly layers

  Meeting Location:
  Parking Lot by the Wildlife Observation Center
  Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
  (Note: signage at the entrance makes it easy to find the lot.)

  Time:
  10:00 AM – approximately 11:30 AM

  Fall Hike at Batsto Lake Trail – Join Us!
  Saturday, November 22nd | 10:00 AM | Batsto Village, Wharton State Forest

  Let’s kick off a cozy fall morning together outdoors! Join fellow NJ SWEP members - familiar faces and new friends alike (nonmembers welcomed!)- for a relaxed group hike along the beautiful Batsto Lake Trail. We’ll meet right outside the Visitor Center front doors at 10:00 AM and head over to the trail together.

  This scenic 4.1-mile loop winds around the lake through peaceful pine forest, sandy footpaths, and charming bog bridges. It’s generally considered an easy, enjoyable walk and typically takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete at a comfortable pace.

  Whether you’re here for fresh air, conversation, leaf-peeping, or just a quiet reset in nature - we’d love to have you.

  • Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots

  • Water

  • Weather-appropriate layers

  Batsto Village Visitor Center (Front Doors)
