Heading here today. Realized this one is not the official Blue Hole, but one near it!! This one looks like it’s off Cairns Mill Rd while the Blue Hole is about 10 minutes away off Pinney Hollow Rd and is much smaller. Excited to see the one in your video!!
We would say this, Kayak at your own risk. From what we are finding out the area is off limits so you could get hit with a trespassing fine. If you are willing to chance it we would recommend the usual safety precautions when kayaking like wearing a life jacket and such.
It’s not the only fake “blue hole” in nj with the other one being in Monroe township coincidentally enough off exit 8a NJ Turnpike which you can see if you’re going southbound right before the exit and that is also a sand pit but it appears to be more active than this one.
Very dangerous and strongly suggest against it. One reason is due to the depth of the water that can go from knee or waist deep to 70’ deep in a matter of a few yards. On top of that the water temp varies greatly and if you hit one of the really cold areas your body could be over come by the cold and basically shuts down.
I think it is about .4 mile to get from your car to the blue hole! I don’t think you can float around in the water because there are “no swimming” signs everywhere, it is illegal to swim there. We just walked in the shallow water!
You can park right beside it it if you go down piney hollow road there an entry to left . That’s if your coming off of 73. We parked right beside the water just go when the weather is good and hot or you’ll get stuck in the sand.
Who owns this lake? I assume it's state land, right? It's to bad they don't do anything with it as far as it being a recreational spot for fishing and water sports and stuff. It's a shame they don't do the things they could do to make it safe to swim, at least in certain areas. They could put in docks and have designated areas, where the bottom has been checked and surveyed and the drop off points have been marked, where people are allowed to swim, and hire life guards. I wonder if anyone has made an attempt to get any of that stuff to happen.
@@wondermich Actually, on second thought, after researching this more, I realized the reason they don't like people swimming in these so-called "blue hole" pits in NJ is because they're made of sand. The sand is unstable and gives way under people's feet. That's why it makes so many people drown. These are sandpits, not quarries. A rock quarry doesn't have this issue because it's made of solid rock. I'm actually researching this because I'm planning on doing a video on the Quarry Swim Club in Hopewell NJ this Saturday. It's one of the few quarries that was actually turned into a legal swim club instead of just being an attractive nuisance like so many other flooded quarries are.
Michigan has lakes turquoise color, clear & blue, but you can swim in them. Torch is my favorite. That sucks you really can’t swim in this one. Pretty though!
Tell me you don’t know anything about Jersey without telling me you know nothing. This is in Manchester not Monroe 🙄🤦🏼♀️ Pulling up any map would show you that Monroe isn’t even in south Jersey 🤣
This is not in Manchester, it’s in the Pinelands of Monroe Township in Gloucester County. There are two Monroes in NJ so maybe that’s why you are confused.
I knew it was too good to be true to have something this nice in New Jersey! “The bottom is lined with garbage & the blue in the water is from all the Sulfur.” One of the many reasons why this is called the Garbage State! 😅
There's a lot of nice in Jersey, and sulfur-caused blue holes are found across the globe naturally so even if sulfur was disposed of in an old sand pit, its not like the toxic waste dump connotation is warranted. Its also not a swimming area and considering the number of drownings thats for good reason. Its also in the middle of an area that's one of the biggest sections of coastal pine forest on the Atlantic seaboard. Not our fault people can't pull their heads out of where they're stuffed far enough to see past Newark....
Newark is a junkie town eww ... Jersey has a lot of beautiful places but people are so naive and stupid they don't know how to appreciate what they have so they gotta go and find it somewhere else where it would probably be the same.🙄
That water was very blue. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Yes never swim there! Ever
Monroe, NJ? NO, MANCHESTER
@@denisepope6556 Actually, no, this is in Monroe Township! I have been to the one in Manchester but this video was not filmed there :)

I remember swimming in those as a.kid we had no where to go in Hammonton
So no kayaking then?

Why kayak in a place that's known for drowning people? Two people died there yesterday.
Where did you park!?
Adore the blue hole. We go a few times in the summer. We gotta walk those tracks and the bugs are brutal!
What is the name of this place, where in New Jersey ?
Wondering what that shadow the drone caught in the middle of the water looks like the lochness monster and in NJ I wouldn’t be surprised 😅
I believe there's a crane in the water from the mining that used to be done
Beautiful video dad and I just watched it together. The water is so blue💙💙💙💙
It is truly amazing! 😍

CONtracter$ will be building houses soon - jerk$
How close to the water can you park your car? Also can you float around the water or bring an inflatable boat and ride it there?

I Wouldn't want to. Too many stories.
@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ is this technically private property though? Can you get in trouble just for visiting?

I think it’s state land! It would be cool if they did something to make this place accessible and safe, it’s so beautiful.

I love anything blue❤️
I have been there before and the water is really pretty.
Dang...you can't swim!...No wonder the blue hole is empty
Do people fish here?
Yes. Bass and pike😊

Tell me YOU dont know anything about jersey 😂😂 maybe fact check before leaving incorrect rude comments :)

Haha! We are not fans of NJ either… only a few more years here and then off to Arizona! :)
@@wondermich don’t get me wrong, i love my home state of NJ, but its not glamorous at all 😂
