The 3,830-acre (15 km&2) West Pine Plains Natural Area is a globally rare stunted forest ecosystem, known locally as the Pygmy Forest. It preserves a portion of the pine plains, and supports an extensive forest of pine and oak trees that reach a canopy height of as little as four feet at maturity. New Jersey contains the largest area of this forest type in the world. The forest supports the endangered broom Crowberry and twelve rare species of moth. Fishing, hunting, horseback riding, swimming and boating (electric motors only) are available. There is a large, developed campground, primitive group campsite, shelters and cabins. The fifty-mile (80 km) Batona Trail passes through Bass River State Forest as well as nearby Wharton State Forest and Brendan T. Byrne State Forest . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINK |
