Double Trouble State Park, State park and historic village in Ocean County, United States
Double Trouble State Park spans 8,495 acres of Pine Barrens ecosystem, featuring Cedar Creek, extensive cranberry bogs, and preserved historic buildings from the 1800s.
The Double Trouble Company, established in 1909 by Edward Crabbe, operated a substantial timber and cranberry operation, becoming one of New Jersey's largest agricultural enterprises.
The park's preserved village includes fourteen structures from the late 19th century, including a general store, schoolhouse, and sawmill that showcase rural industrial life.
Visitors can explore the 1.5-mile nature trail, participate in guided tours of the historic village, or launch kayaks and canoes into Cedar Creek.
The park received its name after muskrats created two simultaneous dam breaks, causing a worker to exclaim about the double amount of trouble.
