Cheesequake State Park, Nature reserve in Matawan, United States.

Cheesequake State Park encompasses 1,569 acres of diverse landscapes including saltwater marshes, cedar swamps, pine forests, and hardwood stands at sea level.

The state park, established in 1940, marks a historical region where Native Americans lived and early colonizers settled along the New Jersey coast.

The park's Interpretive Center presents exhibits about regional wildlife, natural habitats, and educational programs focusing on local environmental conservation.

Visitors can access fifty tent sites with fire rings, explore five marked trails ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 miles, and swim in Hooks Creek Lake during summer.

The park stands at an ecological intersection where northern hardwood forests meet southern pine barrens, creating a rare combination of plant communities.

Location: New Jersey

Inception: 1940
