From the Back Cover

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and discover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don’t offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you’d want to see—if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you’ll say over and over again: “I didn’t know that!”
Whether you’re a visitor or a local looking for something different, let New Jersey Off the Beaten Path show you the Garden State you never knew existed. Visit the world’s largest collection of snowmobile memorabilia and a barnyard animals petting zoo at the Snowmobile Barn Museum; hunt for the Jersey Devil in the vast Pine Barrens; or spend a few nights in the Glenwood Mill B&B, a 200-year-old flour mill. So if you’ve “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

Customer Reviews

It's a great book!5
This book gives you a truly comprehensive look at all that the Garden State has to offer. There are so many interesting things to see and do in New Jersey. What's great about this book is that many of the places discussed are truly "off the beaten path." I've lived in New Jersey my whole life and had never heard of many of the places in the book! There are wolf preserves, museums dedicated to snowmobiles and the state police, farms, historic towns, deserted villages, the Pine Barrens, and the Jersey shore. Since the eighth edition is already 3 years old, I would advise everyone to check online to make sure some of these places are still open. I highly recommend this book.
