Step over the tracks behind the house and enter Wharton State Forest!

Our "backyard" is the Pinelands, which are criss-crossed with trails, and the creek that runs through our property--Albertson's, named after the original owner family--is dammed by beavers and humans, creating some beautiful lakes. Map below shows the forest near Spring Garden Inn and map to right is a larger map of the 115,000 acres that comprise the forest tract.

See satellite view of our land and Wharton forest along Albertson Creek. The house is to the left along the road, the creek can be seen with surrounding forest and fields and developments outside of the forest
