Queer Day Hike - New Jersey

​This event is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.

​Have you every wanted to explore the New Jersey Pine Barrens? Join Volunteer Brenna for a long day hike in a State Forest to surround yourself with tall pine and oak trees, historic cranberry bogs, and local queer community.

​This hike is a 9.5 mile loop, but don't let that longer distance discourage you! There is only 120 feet of elevation change across the entire hike, and we will move at a pace that matches the slowest hiker so we can all fully enjoy each others company while spending time outdoors.

​The trail is flat and sandy, with some wooden boardwalk paths. We will plan to stop during the hike to take a longer rest and eat lunch together, so please plan to pack a lunch and bring plenty of water with you!

​The trailhead has a large parking lot with plenty of free parking and a public restroom.

​We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them.

​If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated at this event.
