Camp Nekon

Kingston

Dog friendly ADA: No Free

Located in Kingston, Camp Nekon is a 240 acre property featuring scenic pond views. The 2 mile trail accommodates hiking, biking, and kayaking. It offers direct access into the adjoining Kingston State Forest, forming part of a long-distance loop trail (with a wildlife tunnel under Route 44) that links Camp Nekon to the Muddy Pond Wilderness Preserve. Decades of illegal off-road vehicle use damaged the trails and the delicate pine barrens ecology here, but the Conservation Commission has been actively working on rehabilitation. Also explore Carter Preserve and Muddy Pond Wilderness Preserve, other trails in Kingston. Try Muddy Pond Wilderness Preserve for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
