Wonder Lake State Park

Wonder Lake State Park encompasses 1,145 acres of protected land with an artificial lake, forests, and 8.7 miles of marked hiking trails.

The park originated from A.L. Cushman's summer estate in the 1930s, when he constructed Wonder Lake and Laurel Pond through dam installations.

The property served as the summer residence of television actor Elizabeth Montgomery until 1995, before becoming a public recreational space.

The park maintains multiple trails connecting to the regional Highlands Trail system, offering opportunities for hiking, fishing, hunting, and wildlife observation.

The park functions as a crucial environmental link in the Great Swamp watershed, connecting multiple public lands across the region.
