Double Trouble State Park - New Jersey

Address:Bayville, New Jersey

Double Trouble State Park takes its name from the Double Trouble Company, which sold timber, millwood and cranberries in the late 19th century. The historic village is still there today, and park visitors can still visit the general store, schoolhouse and cranberry sorting house. Cedar creek, which provides the water for growing cranberries, is also great for canoeing and kayaking, and supports the Pine Barrens ecosystem here. Visitors are also welcome to hike the 1.5 mile loop trail which has both nature and historic guides available. Whether a nature lover or a history buff, Double Trouble is sure to please.

Double Trouble State Park offers an outstanding example of the Pine Barrens ecosystem and a window into the Pine Barrens history. The park provides the protection and interpretation of over 8000 acres of significant natural, cultural, and recreational resources representative of the Pinelands National Reserve. Its location and resource base afford an opportunity to introduce visitors to southern New Jersey's natural and cultural heritage. Both the natural environment, consisting of a high quality Pinelands watershed, and an extremely well preserved historic village associated with New Jersey cranberry agriculture and Atlantic White Cedar logging and milling industries are available to visitors at Double Trouble State Park.
