Being south Jersey I’ve always assumed these stories had beer involved. In swimming holes I’ve been in that hand accross the leg was a tree limb.
For those looking to put this in the GPS, the nearest business is A&A Salvage, 241 E. Piney Hollow Rd. Williamstown 08094 RayC
From
njwildlifetrails.org/PineBarrensTrails/Sites/tabi...ite/325/Default.aspxThe legendary "blue hole" at Winslow WMA is a circular pool of water about fifteen feet wide. Created by a spring that no longer flows, the water is crystal clear to depths of almost twelve feet. The legend is that the water is ice cold and bottomless, and a home of the Jersey Devil. To reach the blue hole, Turn Left onto the first sand road off of Piney Hollow Road, 0.7 miles from Rt. 322. (That would be north of AA Auto Salvage) Continue a short way through the woods to a small parking lot with a "shooting range closed" sign. From here, hike the first trail to the right - you will pass through bogs of blueberry and cranberry and arrive at a clearing with the famed pond. The hike is less than 1 mile total. It is not advised in wet weather as the sandy trail will be mostly underwater.
