Double Trouble State Park, State park and historic village in Ocean County, United States
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.
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.
The site has walking and water trails for exploring the landscape. It helps to wear weather-appropriate clothing since wetland areas are damp and conditions can shift with the seasons.
The park's name comes from an incident with muskrats that caused two simultaneous dam breaks. A worker described the situation with a phrase that became the place's name.
