We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Forests, swamps, fields & lakes comprise this area used for hunting, hiking & wildlife observation.
What runners say about Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area
“THIS IS A CLEAN, SAFE AND NATURE FILLED PLACE TO ADVENTURE!”
“Today I have hiked loop segment of NJ State Long trail, it is quite beautiful especially the section along Turnmill Pond.”
This spot is a great place to visit if you enjoy driving down dirt roads and anything outdoors. There’s a ton of land to it and I find it very relaxing to be there. There’s a few lakes to go to fishing at or enjoy the view and hangout. There’s also a few hiking trails to go on as well.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA IN THE NJ PINE BARRENS. THE ONLY FISH I HAVE CAUGHT IS PIKE. WHAT A FIGHT IT WAS FOR ME, BUT SO MUCH FUN. (I'VE GONE HERE DURING 40+ YEARS OF MY LIFE.) GREAT TO WALK THE TRAILS, OR CANOE/BOAT THE WATER AREAS. THIS IS A CLEAN, SAFE AND NATURE FILLED PLACE TO ADVENTURE! NO AGE LIMIT!
Always go here on our spare time! Whole family enjoys it! My toddler gets to play in the sand and run around as us adults enjoy the awesome views, and the dogs get to run around and play to get some energy out too!
It's a beautiful place - several lakes, lots of pinelands, some open field areas. There's several great areas for fishing, and plenty of trails for trail bikes. Folks should be aware that all but the beginning of the entry road are dirt/sand, and High Bridge Road can be swampy in parts when it's been wet for a while.
