Whitesbog Village

New Jersey


Visit one of New Jersey's first cranberry bogs, and the place where the highbush blueberry was cultivated. Nature trails wind through the property.

Buy some local jams and jellies in the general store, or dive in deeper at the annual Blueberry Festival in late June.
