Description
Double Trouble State Park is a nature reserve and historic village in the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey. The site contains wetlands, streams, and old buildings from when timber and cranberries were produced here.

The Double Trouble operation was founded in the early 1900s and became a major employer in the region. The buildings and structures visible today date from this era of timber and berry production.
Culture
The village shows how people lived and worked together over a century ago in this remote location. The preserved buildings tell the story of daily life for workers and their families in the Pine Barrens.
