Overall it was a nice experience but the playground area definitely needs some upgrades.

It was a nice experience, but we went with kid and stroller and selected blue trail by mistake.

If you are coming with kids, park near the pond's side and select perrein trail only.
Movie Night
Great atmosphere and very well maintained hike. It was a moderate hike, We took green trial and it was about 3 miles. Though there is no scenic view in the trial. Can take kids, Easy navigation and pet friendly

I love the trails at Cheesequake State Park. They do need some repair and more benches though. My favorite thing is that they are different lengths and good for folks with varying abilities. The trails are usually very clean, people seem not to litter. The folks that go are very diverse in age and ethnic identity and it's good to see people that look like a slice of NJ enjoying the park.

I would never go back here ever since I was attacked with mosquito bites all along my trail. I was wearing full length clothes but they still mange to bite us that it took us one whole week to recover from rashes, swelling and bumps. It was my worst nightmare and I was in so much pain.

Several hilly, mostly flat trails to choose from ranging from 1 mi - 3.5 mi. Trails are clean and in good order. Along the way, there is a visitor center with rich history about the area, including stuffed animals. Handicap accessible and clean bathrooms. Friendly staff!

Great, relatively easy hiking/walking for me and my 8 year old. No entrance fee when we came (late Oct) so that's a bonus!

Nice light dirt trails, everything is marked pretty well. Parking is always available
