10 Things to do Adventurous in New Jersey That You Shouldn't Miss

October 19, 2021 Oliva Fomby

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.

So worth the trip - we were staying less than 10 minutes away and I decided to surprise my family. We'd never been to an Alpaca farm before so my wife and two teenage sons were very surprised - and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jim was our host - he had the necessary handwashing and sanitizing station prepared. After a short introduction, he provided us bags of carrots (teats for the Alpacas) and walked us to the pen to see the male Alpacas, followed soon after by female Alpaca in their pen. Jim was an awesome host, answered all our questions, and taught us all about Alpaca - they are such friendly animals. This visit was definitely worth the time and money!

One of the things often overlooked (especially by people new to firearms)is training. I cannot speak highly enough of the training offered by the staff at Woodland Park Range. I have had training with Jimmy Grammenos and Tony Urena. The focus is ALWAYS on safety and the training is presented in a easy to follow clear and concise manner.In Gun for Hire / Woodland Park range Anthony Colandro runs a range and training facility that is state of the art and is always kept immaculate. Gun for Hire Woodland Park range is the finest range / training facility I have visited. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
