Pequest Wildlife Management Area Access

The Pequest Wildlife Management Area offers access to the Pequest River for fishing via an angler parking area at the Route 46 entrance, along with 3. 9 miles of marked hiking trails through diverse habitats.

The 4,000-5,000 acre area features a Natural Resource Education Center (open Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm) with exhibits and facilities, though the WMA itself is open dawn to dusk daily.

Note that this is a "carry in-carry out" location with no trash receptacles, and horses, bikes, ATVs, and motorized vehicles are prohibited on trails.
