This Cache is located at Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area.
At almost 12,000 acres, Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area is one of the larger wildlife areas in the NJ forestry system. For hunters and birders, it is a peaceful place to revel in the great outdoors
Right near the busy Atlantic City Expressway is the very unbusy Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area. If you listen closely, you can hear the cars whooshing by, but don’t let that make you think twice. Within Makepeace Lake’s almost 12,000 acres are dense, thick swamps, winding streams and forests that are so typical of the Pinelands.
The lake itself is shallow, but at 300 acres, there's lots of wildlife for birding and hunting. Focus your binoculars on the areas near the parking area and you might spot nesting King Rails and Virginia Rails.
Over by the lake, you'll see shorebirds on migration. Look for Kildeer, Spotted, Solitary, Pectoral, Semipalmated, and Least sandpipers. And you can usually always spot Common Snipe, yellowlegs and Short-billed Dowatcher, Loafing Double-breasted Cormorants.
Because of the proximity of the Expressway, very early morning is your best time to spot them before traffic gets too noisy.
Note: You will have to be on "Guard" for muggles on this one.
