Turkey Swamp Park

Freehold, NJ

About

Everyone loves lakeside activities, especially those who visit Turkey Swamp Park! With access to bring or rent canoes, rowboats, kayaks, and paddleboats it seems impossible to run out of fun. In addition to the boating, you're welcome to try your luck at fishing out the bass, catfish, and bluegills that call the lake home. The park also offers picnic areas with charcoal grills, children's playgrounds, and plenty of open space to fly a kite, toss a ball, or watch the clouds roll by. The best way to explore this park is on its 9 miles of multiple use trails. Hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians can enjoy the pitch pine and oak trees of the wooded area while looking for wildlife. Other plants and animals associated with the Pine Barrens can also be found. The park also features an archery range, reserved group areas with open shelter that accommodates up to 250 people (fee), open playing fields, a shelter building with fireplace, and soccer fields for league use.

I have been going to Turkey Swamp since 2009 with my family. My husband has been going to play at the park since 1970s. The place hasn't changed very much, which some may be disappointed with, but I love the familiar layout, feel safe with my kids running around and the constant patrol of the Rangers. This past trip our trailer had a mechanical issue that wasn't able to have a quick resolve, the rangers were quick to help and accommodating. This already stressful situation was made less stressful by their kindness and understanding that I don't believe I would have gotten elsewhere. This will always be a special place for my family.
