About the Tour

Please Note
The environmental center is currently closed. We invite you to explore the park. Please check our website monmouthcountyparks.com for more information on the re-opening.

Welcome to the Manasquan Reservoir Environmental Center. This unique park, located in Howell, New Jersey features a 770-acre reservoir that is part of a larger 1,208-acre site of woods and wetlands.

On this 30-minute walking tour through the pine-oak forest along the edges of the reservoir, you’ll learn about the center’s biodiversity work.

The center promotes the protection of water resources, animal habitats, and wildlife. It’s both a water source for towns and utilities, and a natural setting for recreation and outdoor pursuits.

The intent of its designers was to create a place where wildlife could thrive and coexist with our many visitors, eager to experience this special place for themselves and to form lasting memories.

On this tour, you’ll learn about local wildlife, such as bald eagles, ospreys, song birds, bats, and amphibians before ending back at the Manasquan Reservoir Visitor Center.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
