Double Trouble State Park protects over 8,000 acres of distinctive pine barrens habitats on the eastern edge of the Pinelands National Reserve, including Atlantic white cedar stands, pine-oak forests, and the pristine waters and wetlands of the Cedar Creek watershed. It provides habitat for wildlife such as northern pine snakes, pine barrens treefrogs, river otters, wood ducks, and bog turtles, as well as distinctive plants including highbush blueberry, sundew, pitcher plant, and swamp pink. The park also includes the Double Trouble Historic District, with over 200 acres of cranberry bogs and an associated company town whose buildings and equipment are rare survivors that offer insight into the history of New Jersey’s cranberry and lumber industries. Today the park offers opportunities for walking, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, and exploring this history.
