New Jersey has some of the best areas for outdoors to enjoy but you have to pre-plan your adventures so you can enjoy. For instance, you probably wanna avoid hiking in the Pine Barrens during summer because of the bugs. Plan to go into the forest in spring or fall this way you have much fewer insects (mosquitos) and less heat. When it's summer that's when you wanna hit the beautiful beaches we have all along the Jersey Shore, some of the best beaches in America.

The state has lots of farms to visit but if you are gonna do this during summer try to get out to the farm early because this way you beat the heat! Another fun activity that you can do and beat the bugs and heat is to hit the beautiful boardwalks and take advantage of the sea breeze. Go to the boardwalks at night and it's a blast without the sun for those looking to avoid.
