Wildlife Management Areas
 |
The
Three Bridges area on Mountain Road within the Flatbrook-Roy Wildlife
Management Area is closed to vehicular traffic indefinitely.
The decision to close the road was made based on concerns from
Department of Transportation engineers regarding the structural
integrity of the bridges. Sportsmen can still access this area
via foot and can park along Mountain Road before the bridge closures,
and can also use alternate routes via Brook Road from Route 560
or Mountain Road from Walpack Center. (View
map) |
The table below lists all state Wildlife
Management Areas as of February, 2010. At that time there were
more than 325,000 acres in 120 areas. New properties and additions
to existing properties are continually being added. (In addition,
Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) maintains four (4) areas for
public fish and wildlife associated recreation activities under the
terms of State of New Jersey hunting and fishing permits. See
below.)
Maps are available for all areas in PDF
format. Approximate file size is provided so download time can
be estimated. Maps have been compressed to reduce file size and download
time; maps are available through the Bureau
of Land Management office if you are unable to print them.
