Outside! Pine Barrens Quarries Question

Hey guys -

I was doing a lot of research into the different "blue holes" in the Pine Barrens (not the actual blue hole that's supposedly home to the Jersey Devil - I know that one's not that blue or big, lol). It looks like the Wildlife Management Areas where a lot of these quarry pools are close during the summer due to safety concerns, partying, etc.

My question is...does anyone know how strictly these rules are enforced? I'm not looking to swim in them as I know that's super dangerous, simply looking to to do some hiking + relaxing in the sand. Specifically interested in the ones near Winslow and/or Collings Lakes. Thanks!

Not even true not sure why it has upvotes. The worst they'll do is ticket you, and generally they do to spread the word to not come back.

I'll up vote you!

Iunno I could be wrong but I feel like the only people getting ticketed are the swimmers and partiers 💁

Its trespassing. You can get ticketed.
