Cheesequake State Park

Yes — dogs are welcome Leashed dogs welcome on trails. Not permitted on the swimming beach at Hooks Creek Lake.

An odd, good little park where the northern hardwoods and the southern pine barrens meet - saltmarsh boardwalk, white cedar swamp and open pine, all inside five miles of trail.
