Review & FAQ:
Situated inside the 1.1-million-acre Pinelands National Reserve, the small, shallow Pine Barrens Lakes are some of the most popular lakes in the state. The water in most of the lakes is too acidic for fish to thrive, but recreation activities include hiking, camping, swimming, and simply enjoying the pristine nature in the reserve. Some of the lakes have boat launch facilities, including Big Pine Lake and Little Pine Lake, but most lakes permit only electric motor boats or no motorboats at all. Day trips out to the lakes are possible, but many visitors choose to stay in one of the many available lakeside accommodations.
