Top 10 Bodies of Water in New Jersey, United States
Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

This was my second visit to this compact Burlington County park. The trails total 2.4 miles with various loops winding through tame forests, flowering crab apple trees, the Rancocas Creek and a few ponds. When it comes to ponds, we're like five year-olds... we love spying the turtles and frogs lurking around the edges. If you have kiddies, there is a well appointed play area surrounded by picnic pavilions. During both visits, parties took place in the pavilions. If you want a quieter picnic spot, there's a small picnic grove just off the one trail. The trails are dead easy. The walking is perfectly flat on grass, sand, and, in one annoying place, fresh gravel. Each step sounds like someone is munching potato chips! The first time we visited was a few years ago, in September, and the little flying vampires better known as mosquitoes were atrocious. This time we visited this past weekend in April, and the weather was perfect. What is delightful about this park is civilization is a mere minute away, yet you can enjoy silence and the birds singing overhead. That delight is is enough for me!
