cox hall creek wildlife management area

These walking trails are not bike and walking friendly,like they claim they are.The tree roots are breaking up threw all the trails,also there are falling tree limbs all over the trails,also a lot of flooded trails.So is a real problem to complete the trails any one you chose.Come Fish and Wildlife lets clean this park up.

We have a summer home at the jersey Shore and have been spending time down there for years. We knew of a golf course in the area that had closed but didn’t know what happened to it. Out of curiosity we decided to take a drive by, and what a pleasant surprise! The golf course, which started as a personal course, owned by the family that controlled Schmitt’s Beer, was seized by the government when the owner went to jail for tax evasion. The State of NJ has now turned it into a wildlife management area. Nature is taking its course (bad pun) and the greens, fairways and water hazards are returning to their natural state. There are miles of trails, most of which are the old golf cart paths that are easy to walk or ride your bike on. The is a great way to spend a few hours if you are faced with a cloudy day during your beach vacation. Cox Hall provides a little redemption for those who share Twain’s belief that golf is a good walk spoiled!
