U.S. State and National Parks: Guidebooks, Hiking Information, and More

With international travel on hiatus for the foreseeable future, now is the time to explore your own backyard! Earlier this week, the library hosted a virtual lecture about the history of New Jersey State Parks. If you weren’t able to attend or if you’re interested in learning more, we’ve got you covered. Here is a short reading list of books and travel guides about our national and state parks, as well as books on hiking and outdoor activity in New Jersey, the East Coast, and the rest of the United States!
