Organizer of Hikes and Hiking
The NJ Fish and Wildlife's Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center is located on 5,000 acres of beautiful Wildlife Management Area. This site is home to the state run Pequest Trout Hatchery, which rears and stocks more than 700,000 rainbow trout annually in the waters of New Jersey. There are hiking trails, fishing in the nearby Pequest River, an archery range and a nature center all waiting to be explored.
