In the early 60's, my grandmother and I would take day trips from Surf City over to the barrens. We "found" Harrisville one time. Those trips were Very special. We'd bring a lunch too. We went during Thanksgiving time off from school. At that time the population was 5 peeps per sq mile. I cherish those times. Nice story, ty.
Grew up in the pineys as we called it, hunted that whole area from cape may to toms river and new Gretna,best duck hunting in the world,worked at Wheaton plastics in mays landing😊
New Jersey Network 1996. This was recorded off-air with a roof-top antenna. Analog TV. Recorded on S-VHS VCR. Very good resolution, color and sharpness.
The reason why the water is brown is called cedar water. There are just as many cedar trees in the woods as there are pine trees. The cedar trees emit a brown color. The Indians considered it to be medicinal.
There are great stories about the Pines. One story is about a group that captured supporters of the King & other sympathizers. Some were ransomed off. It ended bad they were caught & hanged. There was the Water Wizard who learned dowsing from the Lenape Indians, his story & many more stories are in a book called Forgotten Towns of South Jersey. There are other books & lots of good stories & videos online.
The Native Americans said the New Jersey Devil protects the Pine Barrens Mother Leeds her husband was a drunk,this was her thirteen child being born she said let this one be a Devil 👿, killed the midwife,flew up,out the chimney
I was using a commercial map of South Jersey and driving around in my Subaru. I saw an un-named town on the map with grid street, so I drove to it and found cellar holes along deserted streets. How long was that a myth in the cartography data base?
Thank you so much for sharing! I've lived in the Pine Barrens my whole life.

Native American area. Lenape. I’ve heard the creek cedar water can heal you, and that there are spiritual portals here. I live here.
