This byway crosses the Pine Barrens, a vast, sparsely settled expanse of pitch-pine forest, tea-colored streams, and cranberry and blueberry bogs covering much of southern New Jersey — a national reserve hiding in the most densely populated state. It passes the restored bog-iron village of Batsto and miles of unbroken pinelands famous in folklore as the home of the Jersey Devil. The flat, sandy, watery landscape feels worlds away from the nearby cities.
