Van Nest Refuge WMA – Hamilton Township, Mercer County, NJ Distance – Did 1.7 miles loop. Trails connect into Mercer County Park, so can expand this hike much, much further! Type – Loop-ish Difficulty: 5 of 10 – some bridges were out when we were there, which involved some fancy footwork. If they were/are replaced, it would be a 2.
Website – None Open – Sunrise to Sunset?
Note – This is a WMA, but it seems to be closed to deer hunting due to it’s connection with Mercer County Park.
Terrain – Forest and swamp Surface – dirt trails
Trailheads – N 40° 16.137 W 074° [...]
