Yessir, the pine barrens have some unique scenery, especially for the east coast. Reminds of the high plateaus of Utah or Arizona with the arid landscape, and red soil.
Went between Penn State Forest, Wharton State Forest, and Bass River. Such a great network of trails all throughout. My favorite area in the Pygmy Pines out near Warren Grove.
Took my 2024 Black Diamond off roading in the New Jersey pine barrens this past weekend. Handled beautifully, lots of sand, mud, and whoops. Got her a bit scratched up on some narrow trails but they rub out easy.
