Here's a quick quiz! What was the first state park in New Jersey? If you said Swartswood State Park, you would be right!
Swartswood State Park was established all the way back in 1915, so just imagine all the family fun that's been had over the last century!
Here's another fun fact - did you know that the state's third largest freshwater lake can be found in the park too? Another great reason to visit!
In fact, Swartswood Lake is the main reason the park gets it's visitors, as there are so many adventures to be had on it. You can spend the day kayaking or canoeing on the surface, just taking in the serene surroundings. You can spend a few hours sailing, or even get some fishing in as you relax on the banks or on your boat.
Let's not forget about the swimming either! Those summer days wouldn't be the same without making a splash in those cool waters.
Whether you love the water, or the land...whether it's summer or winter, Swartswood State Park gives you year round fun!
Animal lovers visiting the park will be excited to hear about the wildlife that can be found within the reserve. Kids - if you're lucky you might spot those grand bald eagles soaring ahead!
Swartswood State Park have a number of trails throughout also, so if you love getting those walking shoes on and meandering through nature, there are plenty of options. Kids in particular love the Duck Pond Multi-Use Trail, as this level surface is less than a mile long and is perfect for biking, blading, skate boarding, and is ADA accessibly too.
The trail will take you through the forest along a beautiful Duck Pond, and make sure you stop at the bird blind that has been built to allow you to view the birdlife without distrubing the birds!
If that wasn't enough, there is a playground and open playing fields located near the picnic area. Volleyball and basketball courts and open areas for frisbee, golf and softball are located in the day-use area of the park.
So why wait? Just head on out for your New Jersey family adventure today!
