MEDFORD

Medford is home of the Medford Lakes, which is 1.2 square miles of rustic beauty. Part of the New Jersey Pinelands Preservation area, there are 22 lakes within this small area and hundreds of lakefront and lake view properties. There are no streets or roads, only trails. Of the 1500 homes in Medford Lakes, over 150 are log cabins, giving Medford Lakes the highest concentration of log cabins in the world. The wealth of lakes and recreational facilities are operated by The Medford Lakes Colony, an independent home owners association open to all. The Colony is dedicated to promoting the enjoyment of the lakes, playgrounds, ball fields, tennis courts and other recreational facilities.

• Flying W Airport & Resort was built in the 1960s by Bill Whitesell; hence the "W" in its name. Mr. Whitesell initially envisioned a place to provide air transportation services to those involved in building the Alaska Pipe Line. He also wanted to provide a place where both travelers and local families could dine al fresco in a restaurant that also doubles as a bar and cafe, stay in the quaint Flying W Motel, and swim in the famous airplane-shaped swimming pool. Over the years, the restaurant, lounge and swimming pool have provided enjoyment and wonderful memories to many who still visit.

• Medford Lakes Country Club is a private club offering its members a five star golf experience in a family friendly atmosphere.

• Arrowhead Tennis has been a Medford landmark since 1971 and continues to be a top facility for tennis players of all ages and abilities to socialize, exercise and learn to improve their skills.
