Wharton State Forest, Nature reserve in Atlantic, Burlington, and Camden counties, United States.
The Wharton State Forest spans over 110,000 acres of pine forests, rivers, and sandy terrain within the New Jersey Pine Barrens ecological region.
The forest contains Batsto Village, an industrial center from 1766 to 1867 that produced iron products during the Revolutionary War period.
The Carranza Memorial within the forest commemorates Mexican aviator Captain Emilio Carranza Rodriguez through an annual ceremony each July.
Visitors can access multiple camping areas, including Atsion Family Campground with flush toilets and showers, plus facilities for canoeing and swimming.
The forest includes 50 miles of marked hiking paths and 250 miles of sand roads, making it the largest single tract in New Jersey's park system.
