Voorhees State Park, State park and nature reserve in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States
The natural area contains wooded hills, multiple trails, and a lake surrounded by dense forests that change colors throughout the seasons.
Foster McGowan Voorhees, former Governor of New Jersey, donated a 323-acre farm in 1929 to establish this public recreational space.
The Civilian Conservation Corps transformed the land between 1933 and 1941, building trails, shelters, and picnic areas that remain in use today.
The park maintains 47 tent and trailer sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and access to toilets and showers from April through October.
The New Jersey Astronomical Association operates an observatory in the park with one of the largest privately owned telescopes in New Jersey.
