New Jersey is a beautiful, geographically diverse state. Contrary to popular belief, we aren’t just a mass of factories and highways. Our state has gorgeous beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and more! There is so much incredible scenery to be seen, and lucky for us, there are many great local photographers to capture it. The following photos have been submitted by our readers to the Only In New Jersey Facebook Page.
