Cheesequake State Park

by Jersey Girl

The name Cheesequake State Park makes me giggle. Okay, not the state park part, but the Cheesequake part. In my brain I always think Cheesecake…come on, admit it…so do you. Anyway, I once heard on the radio that the Cheesequake rest stop on the parkway is supposed to be the busiest there is on the parkway. Let’s head off the parkway now, and head to the park….

I don’t know about you, but last weekend the 70 degree weather had me longing for spring and spending more time outside. I’m not much of a winter girl and wasn’t thrilled when we got 10 inches of snow dumped on us!

The Cheesequake State Park is a great place to enjoy the nicer weather of spring. You’ll find a 1,600 acre state park that not only offers a nature center but areas for boating, picnics, fishing, hiking and so much more. If you’d like to get more information on their attractions such as camping, swimming, nature trails or more, you can reach them at 732-566-2161. It’s located in Matawan.
