Peaslee Wildlife Management Area Access

Peaslee Wildlife Management Area is New Jersey's second-largest WMA at over 25,000 acres, offering extensive recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, canoeing, and fishing across numerous sand and gravel roads and the Tuckahoe River.

Access is available daily from dawn to dusk via Hesstown Road in Cumberland, with ample parking and multiple entry points; a 7-mile auto-trail loop is available for those seeking a shorter visit.

The area features diverse habitats including pine-oak woodland, swamps, and cultivated fields, making it particularly excellent for spring birding and summer paddling along wildflower-lined waterways.
