New Jersey Lizard Tail Swamp Preserve Reviews
There are two trails, one is 1 mile long and the other 2 miles. So 3 miles in total if you do both although it requires a bit of looping back to do so. The trails can be narrow in some spots and overgrown in some areas as well. During the summer the ticks get bad in this particular area. Parking is limited. Includes a pavilion and benches.
There are 3 parking spots, and two trails (yellow and blue). The yellow trail is the main one that leads back to a pond back by the power lines. It is two miles long and an easy 35 minutes to the end and back. While the front signage was a little overgrown, the rest of the trail was well maintained when i visited in June. Keep an eye out for ticks (of a smaller variety than i’m used to, maybe deer ticks?)
A Nature Conservancy managed trail again.There's only two trails that are out here the yellow and the blue trail. We only did the yellow trail that was 2 miles. Poor Trail management again. Almost got lost three times because of poor trail markings and signage. One of the trail signs was broke off from the base. Overgrowth on the trails not well-kept. Not well kept when you drive up to take a look at the sign. Looks like nobody has checked on that one in a while either. My friend like the challenge but me not so if you're going to get lost a couple of times. We didn't do the blue trail because we didn't know what kind of condition that was going to be in. Very disappointed with this as well but we hiked it.
Trail not maintained at all. Shortly into walk there was a tree blocking the path. We should have turned around then. Many parts barely were cleared. Later in trail there was another tree down that had huge wasps in it. Don't go here.
