- Hi Friends!
In today's adventure, we go "off-roading" in the pine barrens of New Jersey. Off-Roading in New Jersey was definitely one of my favorite off-roading experiences so far. The driving was easy and relaxing, the Pine Barrens are so remote and peaceful. Next Time I will be looking for BigFoot LOL.
THANKS AGAIN FOR WATCHING!

Cool video nice to see someone who values there parents
They are my besties hahah
Great video. Loving seeing you parents supporting your dream
2 tips
Air down for sand and mud. Makes ride more comfortable and lots better traction.
Ask the parents for a Viair pump if you don’t have one.
- cheap knee high barn boots are good for walking puddles and streams. If it’s over my knees I don’t want to drive through it.
A nice pair of loppers also handy in NJ to avoid Texas pinstripes on that nice new truck 😊
love that the parents and pup are in all the vids. And yes, squatch are among us 🐾 🌈🤙 Aloha from Hawai'i
Omg all the way from Hawai’i!! That’s so exciting! My parents and my pup are my adventure buddies 😂 I drag them everywhere 😂 they are the best! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Off roading is not illegal in NJ as long as the vehicle you are using is registered and licensed. Basically if you can legally drive your vehicle to the trail, you can drive the dirt roads. The only "vehicles" that are illegal are those not for street use like quads, trikes, side-by-sides, and unregistered dirt bikes.
NERD
Hoagies 🤷♂️😜
Ahhh the great debate hahaha
There is no debate. In the most southern parts of South Jersey we call them Hoagies
Not even the most southern. They are hoagies in Camden county
Awesome Video. Out of all videos I have watched, this one shows me what I can do with the family without messing up my 4runner
Such a great family adventure!
What a cool place. I want to go now
The big puddles aren't really the hardest part. The hardest part of the pine barrens is when you're on some of the roads and it's just a succession of really small but constant bumps so there's no way you can be comfortable as you are driving along. Quakerbridge road and the Washington Turnpike (dirt roads) are like this. Also on really narrow roads you can get little scratches in your paint from the tree branches. The pine barrens qualifies as off-roading for sure it's still pretty beginner level. I drove completely through Wharton State Forest from Atsion to Batso within a few hours. You can drive some of the roads with just a car but at least a pick-up is necessary for others. If you have just a car and want to do this I recommend going to Brendan T. Byrne Forest where the roads tend to be a little wider.
Cool to see more pep in Jersey off-roading . Got 4-5 of us doing about 450 miles on the trans NJ trail in December. Should be fun.
OH WOW!!! Now that sounds absolutely so cool!!!
And damn Got Covid the first day of the trip. Had to go home after the first night :(
I’ve often driven down Rt. 72 and wondered where all the little sandy two track roads went, and if was legal to drive on them.
I live in Manchester and ride my dual sport TW200 in the woods often. My advice? Have your GPS, but put it down and just drive and explore. You're only in little NJ and as long as you have gas, you're good to go. You're never far from paved roads and probably always have cellular service. One thing to pay attention to is watch for signs that tell you you are on military property. It can be easy to stumble onto McGuire, Ft. Dix or Lakehurst Naval Air Station land.
If you haven't gone in this way, High Bridge Rd. in Jackson off of CR 571 will start a nice ride for you. If you don't know, if it's been wet weather in the previous days, there will be large puddles to cross and as you see, there may be hidden deep ruts. Anyway, enjoy and be safe.
Awesome advice! Thank you and thank you for watching!
Thank you, your tips will be very usefull.
Do you have the exact location at the beginning of the route you mentioned?
If you want to email me, my email is in my "about" section in my "channel."
@@PineyRider thank you so much Tom👍🏼
Definitely not illegal, don't know where you got that from, the only places you cannot go are posted usually orange placard. Also if you go more in towards the camping section there are plenty of trails...just be careful cause them water holes over there are roughly 4ft deep, hence the reason we go, good video. Best way to learn is stay in the vehicle and just go for it, that's what makes it adventurous 😎😎😎😎
That’s awesome you get to do that with your new Tacoma. You get to have lots of fun exploring on the trails and learning about off-roading. Like your new truck. Wish I can do that also. My Tacoma is a pre runner. Out here In SoCal I don’t use 4x4 as much with my time off. You have a awesome truck and fun time. Love all your vlogs.👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
It’s definitely fun! Thank you for watching ☺️
Hi Alex , really enjoyed the video! Keep up the great work and keep following your dreams . Im from that general area .. it’s crazy the amount of trails in the pine barrens
Thank you ! Thank you for watching ☺️🤍
The Pine Barrens are so much fun! I've made a couple of trips up there myself!
another cool video!
Just found you a few days ago, but I love how much fun you’re having wheelin, especially with your family. Keep it up and have fun!
Thank you !! Thank you so much for watching!
I spent tons of time down there in the Wharton State Forrest! Easy to get turned around and lost down there, good to see you've got a gps! Lots of organizatins have events back on those roads. There are dog "sledding" (on wheels) races and training events held by the Jersey Sands Sled Dog Association. Beagle groups do training and then there are motorcycle events, 4X4 clubs, mountain bike trail rides and hiking groups. Enjoy!
That’s batso fireline road also called railroad ave. There’s a few deep holes you gotta watch out for. Nice truck, fellow taco owner here! There’s a Group that meets up on sundays if you’re ever interested in a good trail ride.
Good to know! Thank you!
Good to know I’ll be hitting that park hopefully this weekend!!!
What’s the name of that app that you use?? I have a 4Runner pro. It’s great. Lots of camping
@@thomasf4915 Have fun and be safe! The app is called AllTrails.
I like your stuff
Thank you !
You have to stay on Roads and Man Trails......no different than Any other state park. Some of those roads are still really nasty depending on the season.
Love it! Just got a Jeep YJ and looking forward to exploring those trails. Also they're called hoagies in these parts :)
The Brendan t Byrne forest is pretty sweet too not far from where this all was filmed
Woah! That food looks great!!!!
If you are looking for new trails I highly suggest Canaan Loop rd in Davis, WV. Intermediate level trail which a stock Taco should be capable of running. Forest Rd 18 is worth a drive while you are in town as well. Blackwater Falls State Park is pretty choice waterfall chasing and the art scene in Thomas, WV is great. Pizza at Sirrianis, live music at The Purple Fiddle, etc…
Thanks for the tour of the Barrens. I’ve been meaning to check it out sometime.
Omg I love this !!! Thank you so much ! I have been trying to find good trails to go on with fun towns around them. I really appreciate this thank you !
@@AlexSAdventures Yeah man, the entire Canaan Valley region is a gem. The Dolly Sods Wilderness via Forest Rd 75(The Road Across The Sky)is fantastic as well. Check out Bear Rocks Preserve at the northern most point of FR 75 before it turns back down the mountain. Parking can be rough on nice weekends so mid week is best.
Wharton is not a "National" forest, but rather a "State" forest. No biggie, just want to clarify. It is, however part of the Pinelands National Reserve.
Hi Alex,,another Tacomca Fan here,,also from New Jersey,not far from you!, Be careful out there by yourselfs. Love that Tacoma in white,,mines black,,, if your interested,,I can send you the link to a Great Tacoma site I’m on,,, it’s free to join,awesome people with a lot of knowledge about Tacoma’s in case you get into any mods!! Be safe. Great video…. Jersey Black Beauty !
I can tell exactly where you started I recognize that fence! I love exploring the Pine Barrens even though after a while it all looks the same lol but it is actually a really unique environment only found in a couple other places in the entire world.
Also what you said about it being illegal is kind of true, you are safe if you stick to designated roads or well established trials. but that dirtbike that passed you would get in trouble. Only street legal vehicles are allowed.
I just bought a bronco and really want to get into this, my first 'non paved' ride is for the shake a paw charity this weekend in Mahwah. Super stoked!
Shake a paw is an evil organization. They get puppy mill dogs and sell them for big bucks.
that was cool!! im from NJ and i didnt not know that it was illegal to go off roading in NJ...I got myself a 4x4 rig but I cant wait to take my rig there!!
Any recommendations vermont state offroad?
Peace and good energy from 732 dope video ✌🏻💨
Love calling south Jersey home , so many different adventures from the soft roads of the pine barrens to the coastal marshes of the bay and ocean you really can’t go wrong. Do you share your rides on instagram too? Great choice on the yota love my rav4 but would prefer what you have for more clearance and true 4wd vs my awd. Happy exploring. ✌️
Our little nook of south jersey is really a hidden gem! Love it so much
And I don’t share much of my truck stuff on insta, just mostly RUclips.
Thank you so much for watching!
Too bad Apple Pine Hill Fire Tower got closed to visitors when not manned. That was a treasure and it was ruined by people trashing the place.
I was in Wharton the other day - camped at Godfrey bridge. Did you get the subs from Waller's?
Nice! No we got them from sacos haha
Nice vid, good hiking trails from batso village. my dog loves them lol
Thank you! Thanks for watching !
DOES THE TAILPIPE ON YOUR TRUCK GET WARM MY RAV4 GETS SO WARM AND COZY AFTER SKIING ILL CUDDLE UP TO IT AND WARM MYSELF IN THE STEAM ITS SO NICE I LIKE THE TRUCK THOUGH
Off reading is legal in the pine barrens there. Cool vid glad u enjoyed, sugar sand….. steady pressure on the gas and keep moving. Air down tyres as well
IF you stay on trails and roads.......you can't make you own paths
I have a couple great trails!
Try using Gaia GPS! Better than All Trails for sure. You can share routes with friends and such.. Sweet video though! Never knew about this spot so thank you! Looking forward to checking it out 👍
One thing I learn is when you see like a giant puddle/ mud spot like that with water, throw a stick in it and see if it stands and stays. If that happens is a trap, is likely to get stuck.
Didn't know off roading was illegal in NJ
Cross country travel would be, but the sand roads are perfectly legal. Same for most public lands, actually. She just made a bigger deal out of it than it really is.
Watch out for sasquatch
Next time you visit the pine barrens we should collaborate ❤
I love subs! Have you been to any of the off road parks in northern PA? They have some good ones along with Allegheny national forest, loads of trails.
Subs are the best
Have I have not been off roading in pa
What do u mean when u say offroading is illegal in nj? You mean in that specific park u were in?
She means cross country travel, not driving the sand roads.
Have you used any other nav apps? Currently have onX off-road but it hasn’t been the best for NJ/ PA/ NY in my experience. You should host a subscriber group drive, haven’t been down to the barrens in years and would love to go back
hidden lakes next!!
Ooo that sounds fun
@@AlexSAdventures I live not too far from it, lmk I love exploring but it’s sketchy going alone. There’s a couple fb groups u can join too. New Jersey overland is one
You living in NJ???
Thanks for the vid! I did this once in the pine barrens but i'm too worried about them impounding my truck or something.
Youre allowed street legal vehicles in Wharton. Just follow the "motorized access plan" map only. Dont blaze trails or go on hiking trails.
@@sporff thanks man! I'm gunna check that out!
Where are the hoagies from?
Sac o Subs!
That was pretty cool! Did you really only run into that single motorcycle the whole trip?
Super cool fun trail! No we ran into about 6 other vehicles
Hey what trails did you ride ?
awesome video. If y’all go out again and want company, always down to go out. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
"The package just hit Christopher in the head with a shovel."
Stag hill New Jersey the best
I just got a Crosstrek and I'm unsurprised to find out that Jersey banned off roading.. Classic Jersey.. now I gotta drive to PA to have fun.. Also, highly recommend Millburn Deli for Subs :) Godfadda is so good!
YOU CAN OFF-ROAD IN NJ!! The rangers will tell you "off-roading" is illegal so they call it dirt roading or something stupid. Stupid new jersey laws
@@AlexSAdventures I'm gonna need to go exploring then! :D bring some Godfaddas and just snack and enjoy the view! Have you been any places up north Jersey?? :O
What's illegal is making your own trails tearing up the brush.
Stay on the sand roads!
What. I can't figure out is why swimming is illegal on state land. I guess they got tired of carrying out the bodies 😞
Nice to see this. I take my 1996 4Runner down there a lot and have learned how to navigate the larger puddles.
Nice !!
Apparently living is illegal in New Jersey. I've never seen a State so restrictive in curtailing the liberties of its residents.
why are you here clown......you have to ride on roads and trails only, NO different than any other state park in Any other state.
Well, yes, but what she said isn't really accurate. Traveling the sand roads is perfectly legal. Cross country travel is not legal, and I have yet to be on any public lands aside from dune fields where cross country or true off road travel is legal. People do it, and put in new trails a lot, but they are not supposed to do that.
The pine Barrens are a creepy place , I heard of very disturbing stories about this place like the jersey devil ect
Very creepy! Jersey devil and Bigfoot baha
Hoagies not subs! Come on!
I'm in S. Jersey. Sell me your truck?
i just bought it.....
Subs?? They're hoagies.
Subs bby we in south Jersey 🥰
Theres a squatch out there
100%!!!
