Hiked the red trail and loved it! Beautiful and diverse scenery made it a wonderful experience. The red trail is less than 6 miles and mostly flat which made the hike easy. I highly recommend bug spray and long sleeve clothing since flies and other bugs can be pesky during the summer.
I decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and have another adventure at the Franklin Parker Preserve. I have mostly done biking trails so far but after realizing how many trails in South Jersey are for hiking only I decided to give it a try. I consider this to be my first major hike, I did 6 miles in around 3 hours. The red trail at Franklin Parker Preserve is one of South Jersey's most popular hikes. It's not too long, there are several paths to cut it short if needed, and there is a variety of environments and features along the way. I really enjoyed the suspension bridge, the giant Adirondack chairs, the observation deck, and the abandoned train tracks. The highlight of my adventure was proving to myself that a 6 mile hike is doable. I did take one wrong turn towards the end and had to backtrack but luckily I remembered crossing a specific log bridge. I will definitely be back to explore more of the Franklin Parker Preserve and eventually hike the portion of the Batona trail that goes through it. Now I’m ready for more hiking adventures! 🥾🌲🪑 🛤️

An early Sunday evening in March. Only passed others once. Was surprised at the expansiveness at times. Such a pretty & peaceful place!
Best Pine Barrens experience with respect to variety of landscapes. Yes, you would find fair number of flooded trails, some of them are still passable with good boots. I did not take chances with flooded Batona trail today, but passed through flooded green trail.
My preferred time of year to visit is winter and early spring.
