As the snow and cold temperatures linger, and cabin fever sets in, perhaps it is time to discover all the winter activities that Tewksbury has to offer its residents. We are blessed with parks and recreation areas that are close by and accessible. Sledding, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing can be enjoyed at the Christie Hoffman Farm on approximately 180 acres of gently rolling hills, open fields and wooded trails. On similar acreage, the Whittemore Wildlife Sanctuary on Rockaway Road, the Cold Brook Preserve on the edge of Oldwick and Pascale Farm Park each offer opportunities to hike, cross-country ski or snowshoe in the clear winter light, with scenic views and perhaps glimpses of hawks, owls, fox, pheasant and, of course, herds of white-tail deer! With our ponds and rivers well frozen by recent frigid temperatures, there are ample choices for skating and ice hockey.
After this outdoor activity, there is always a warm welcome at the Oldwick General Store or the
Tewksbury Inn for delicious soup and hot chocolate. Whether you are fortunate enough to be a resident, exploring Tewksbury’s historic villages, or even contemplating a move to this beautiful and undiscovered area of New Jersey, Tewksbury has much to offer.
