Cheesequake State Park

Cheesequake State Park is a one of many NJ State Parks.

It is a 1,610-acre state park & campgrounds located in Old Bridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, US.

The New Jersey Legislature allocated $100,000 in 1937 to purchase property for the park.

Cheesequake State Park’s uniqueness lies in its geographical location. Not only is it situated in the middle of the urban north and the suburban south, it lies in a transitional zone between two different ecosystems. Open fields, saltwater and freshwater marshes, an Atlantic white cedar swamp, pine barrens habitats and a northeastern hardwood forest await you.

Cheesequake State Park – NJ’s State Parks – might be a small area, but it offers a large variety of amazing recreational activities from camping, swimming and picnicking to kayak tours, hunting and mountain biking.  Cheesequake is the only park where the northern hardwood forest meets a southern pine barrens ecosystem at sea level offering birders and hikers a remarkable diversity of native flora and fauna in a healthy, natural environment. Visit and make your own park memories by stopping in the interpretive center, reserving a group picnic site or exploring our nine miles of trails.
