This total includes more than 331,000 acres in 121?Wildlife Management Areas, specifically managed to enhance wildlife populations and provide for wildlife-oriented recreation.
For example, Allamuchy Mountain State Park ?has an available 6,122 acres available for hunting deer, small game, turkey, and water fowl.
