Description
The parking lot is a little difficult to find as it is down a very narrow road and the entrance is a little hidden in a grove. Once through, the trail itself is very clear. It is well cleared and the ground is very sandy. There is a very small uphill stroll at the start, but other than that, the ground is pretty level. Be careful though, there are a lot of ATV tracks here. For a more thorough description and pictures of the trail, visit: https://www.njhiking.com/tamarack-hollow-preserve/
