Cattus Island Park, County park in Toms River, New Jersey, US
The 530-acre park includes seven miles of trails through maritime forests, salt marshes, and along Barnegat Bay with multiple observation points.
John Cattus purchased the land in 1895, leaving structures still visible today, before the county acquired it and opened the park to visitors in 1980.
The Cooper Environmental Center contains educational displays, live reptiles, fish exhibits, and an osprey camera that connects visitors with local wildlife.
The park opens from dawn to dusk daily, while the Cooper Environmental Center operates Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 4 PM and weekends 10 AM to 4 PM.
A 1,000-foot boardwalk constructed to accessibility standards allows visitors of all abilities to experience the natural maritime environment and salt marshes.
