KNOWLTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (Warren County) – Summer is well underway but there is still time to visit Warren County’s unique attractions.

Warren County Commissioner Director James R. Kern III Wednesday toured the Lakota Wolf Preserve and Camp Taylor Campground in Knowlton Township.

Since opening in 1998, Lakota Wolf Preserve, a nonprofit dedicated to the care of, and education about, wolves, bobcats, foxes, and lynx, has attracted thousands interested in seeing these animals in a natural setting.

It is located on part of the 400-acre Camp Taylor, a family campground that opened in the mid-1960s and now has about 150 sites as well as rustic and deluxe cabins.

“Tourism in Warren County enriches our region by highlighting attractions like the Lakota Wolf Preserve and Camp Taylor,” Kern said. “These destinations not only boost our local economy but also promote an appreciation for wildlife and outdoor adventures, making our region a cherished destination for all. I encourage people near and far to Explore Warren!”
