Bass River is a large, 72 square mile Township on the eastern edge of Burlington County in the New Jersey Pinelands.

Spotted Lanternfly Prevention - The spotted lanternfly, native to Asia, has quickly spread since its initial Berks County, Pa. detection in 2014. It poses a serious economic threat to multiple U.S. industries, including viticulture, fruit trees, ornamentals and timber. The lanternfly is a strong jumper; it hops from location to location more than it flies. The greatest risk of spread is from transporting materials containing egg masses. See the NJ Dept. of Agriculture "See It Report It" flyer to help prevent spreading.
