About this trail
The Batona Trail is a challenging 30.59-mile point-to-point trek through the heart of New Jersey's Pine Barrens, offering hikers an immersive wilderness experience in one of the state's most remote and ecologically significant regions. This sandy footpath winds through dense pine and oak forests, crossing streams and traversing the characteristic flat terrain of the Pinelands while passing through or near several notable areas including Batona Pond. The trail is prized by backpackers and serious day hikers seeking solitude and a true off-the-beaten-path adventure in New Jersey.
