After nearly a two month closure, the southernmost portion of Island Beach State Park will reopen to four wheel drive vehicles Monday.<\/p>\n

The area had been temporarily closed to the vehicles\u00a0to help protect the first oceanside nest of piping plovers in more than 25 years. \u00a0The state\u00a0Division of Fish and Wildlife, the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, and all others involved with the management and protection of these state endangered birds “wish to express thanks and appreciation to permit holders for respecting the closure,” a statement said.<\/p>\n

The north jetty of Barnegat Inlet, located at the southern tip of the park, is a popular fishing location for blackfish, striped bass and other species, and a favorite gathering place\u00a0for anglers with four wheel drive vehicles.<\/p>\n
