Based around the 67-acre Lake Absegami, Bass River State Forest is a beautiful natural area in New Jersey that provides a wide range of recreational activities from hiking and mountain biking to swimming, boating, canoeing, and camping. Acquired by the state of New Jersey in 1905 for public enjoyment and use, the forest features six lakefront cabins along the north shore of Lake Absegami for overnight camping, 176 tent and trailer sites, six group campsites with water and pit toilets, and nine handicap accessible lean-tos with hardwood floors and outdoor picnic tables. There are also six lakeside shelters with bunk beds and flush toilets and shower facilities nearby.
