Encompassing more than 23,000 acres in Ocean County, the Bass River State Forest was one of the first New Jersey forests to be set aside for public recreation. The park offers plenty of things to do, but the most popular are fishing in the river, canoeing on the park's beautiful manmade lake, and strolling along the eight walking trails found in the park. There are 176 campsites for visitors to choose from, all of which are located within walking distance of restrooms and showers, but other accommodation options include cabins, lean-tos, and lakeside shelters equipped with cozy fireplaces.
