About Peaslee Wildlife Management Area
At over 25,000-acres, Peaslee Wildlife Management Area is the second largest WMA in the state of New Jersey. Due to its size and the limitations of this guide, we can only direct you to a few of the WMA’s access points. We recommend downloading the topographical maps on the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection website at www.njfishandwildlife.com/wmaland.htm and taking the time to explore the site on your own. Numerous sand and gravel roads traverse the area, and although you may feel lost from time to time, you will soon find your way back to a paved road. For a shorter visit, stick to the paved roads and pull off to scan the forest or any one of numerous sunny openings. Peaslee is the southern-most example of true pine barrens forest with a predominance of pine-oak woodland. However, there are also pockets of different vegetation such as maple-gum swamp and other forested wetlands; and sedge meadows and cultivated fields that have been planted for wildlife. The variety of habitats attracts an unusually large variety of species. Peaslee is bordered by the Tuckahoe River to the east and the Manumuskin River to the west.
