New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve is a very unique and special place, and certainly not your average national park (as if anything is average about national parks). Anyway, the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve was the first in the country, and incorporates more than a million acres of farmlands, wetlands and forests. There are 56 communities contained within the National Reserve, and more than 700,000 residents. Told you it was a bit different!

Beautiful isn’t it? Well worth getting out of bed in the mornings . . .

And that will leave you plenty of time to go kayaking later.
