Flanders County Park isn't an official name, but it best describes an area between the David A. Sarnoff Pine Barrens Preserve and Maple Swamp County Park. Just south of the Flanders Firehouse, was protected as a critical resource area. Though it has several possible access points, none are appealing. What follows below is a quick review of the reasons why, and a call for action.
Public Access Isn't Easy
There's a trail to take you around the SCWA building to avoid the white picket fence. From there, one could reasonably reach the Paumanok Path and eventually the LIGTC trail head. But we ran out of time. |
Call For Action
Help us improve public access and look into a Paumanok Path connection. This is what Kenny Spadafora always talked about, as he was the first one to introduce me to Flanders County Park. It's a beautifully biodiverse area within the pine barrens. |
