When to Go The prairie is worth a visit any time of year and can be explored via hiking, walking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or snowshoeing.

Safety Considerations Discover the power of dark skies, quiet trails and remote, unbroken land. American Prairie Reserve is a remote nature area filled with wonders that are also potential hazards.

Island Beach State Park NJ Department of Environmental Protection Shaped by storm and tides, Island Beach State Park is a narrow barrier island stretching for 10 miles between the restless Atlantic Ocean and the historic Barnegat Bay. Island Beach is one of New Jersey's last significant remnants of a barrier island ecosystem that once existed along much of the coast and is also one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier beaches on the north Atlantic coast. Over 3,000 acres and 10 miles of coastal dunes remain almost untouched since Henry Hudson first described New Jersey's coast from the ship, the Half Moon, in 1609. Miles of sand dunes and white sandy beaches offer habitat to maritime plants and diverse wildlife that is almost the same as it was thousands of years ago. Through the Carry-In/Carry-Out Program you can help us keep your parks clean and beautiful by carrying out the trash you carry in. Island Beach State Park facilities are partially accesible for people with disabilities. Park Hours - Monday-Sunday - 8 am to 8 pm The U.S. 2) Tire gauge;
