Hidden in the southwestern part of the state is Parvin State Park, a place whose history is as varied as its wildlife. Situated on the edge of the Pine Barrens, the park not only has pine forests typical to the area but also a beautiful swamp hardwood forest. 

On Saturday, October 15, join Nature Center of Cape May Director Gretchen Whitman and friends for a paddle on Parvin Lake and Muddy Run to enjoy autumn's spectacular colors. Pack a picnic lunch, and join us at our campsite for a relaxing afternoon of your favorite camp stories around the fire.

The paddle begins at 10:00 a.m. at the canoe launch near the Parvin State Park Office, 701 Almond Road, in Pittsgrove, New Jersey. The program fee is $20.00, reduced to $15.00 for New Jersey Audubon members.

Bring your own canoe or kayak, or rent from the parks' rental service for an additional fee of $20.00 for a single canoe or kayak and $25.00 for a double canoe or kayak.
 
Pre-registration is required, and payment must be received by October 8, 2011. Contact the nature center at 609.898.8848. For a complete listing of our many fall children’s and adults programs, visit us on facebook at NJ Audubon’s Nature Center of Cape May or go to our website at www.njaudubon.org/centers/nccm.
