Parvin State Park, State park in Salem County, New Jersey.
Located between the Pine Barrens and hardwood forests, Parvin State Park encompasses 465 acres of natural area with two lakes and diverse ecosystems.
During World War II, the park transformed into both a summer camp for Japanese American children in 1943 and a detention facility for German soldiers in 1944.
The land bears evidence of Lenape Native American settlements, with European colonization beginning in 1742 and Lemuel Parvin establishing residence in 1796.
The park maintains 56 camping sites with fire rings and picnic tables, plus 18 furnished cabins near Thundergust Lake for extended wilderness stays.
The ecological transition zone creates habitat for 50 tree species, including white cedar and pitch pine, while protecting the endangered swamp pink plant.
