New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve Activities
Sightseeing and photography are pursuits available throughout the Reserve. Other activities, especially those that are facility dependent, are dispersed and are located in managed areas to protect the habitats of endangered and threatened plants and animals. To avoid conflicts related to overuse of sensitive natural systems, competing uses, and private property, it is recommended that visitors utilize the numerous public and private recreational facilities.
Maine ocean islands provide the only nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. Eastern Egg Rock in the midcoast region, Seal Island and Matinicus Rock at the mouth of Penobscot Bay, and Machias Seal Island and Petit Manan Island off the downeast coast provide habitat for more than 4,000 puffins each summer.
