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 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.
