About Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area
At over 10,000 acres, Makepeace Lake WMA is one of the largest WMAs in New Jersey. It possesses most of the typical habitats present in the Pine Barrens, including pine/oak uplands, Atlantic white cedar and red maple swamps, pitch pine lowlands, shrub swamps, bogs, small savannahs, spongs, sand barrens and some others. The 300-acre Makepeace Lake was formed by damming and flooding the old Bozarth cranberry bogs in the 1930s. Cranberry plants can still be found growing here along the lakeshore, in company with insectivorous plants such as pitcher plants and sundews.
