Cheesequake State Park — 1,361 Acres of Wacky Good Swamp
Cheesequake State Park’s uniqueness
lies in its geographical location.
Not only is it situated in the middle of the urban north and
the suburban south,
it lies in a transitional zone between two different ecosystems.
Open fields,
saltwater and freshwater marshes, a white cedar swamp, Pine Barrens,
and a northeastern hardwood forest are the main characteristics
of the park.
A striking example of vegetation change
along a gradient from coastal salt marsh habitat to
upland forests can be observed from the various trails running
through the natural area.
The natural area displays a diversity of plant species and community
types
characteristic of both northern and southern New Jersey.

By the way, if the name of this park doesn't
make you sick,
the smell of this creek at low-tide will.
