Welcome to NJ state parks, forests and historic sites
Whether you are looking for an action packed day of hiking and swimming, or camping under the stars, there are plenty of things to see and do in our 42 parks, 11 forests and 3 recreation areas. And with more than 50 historic sites and districts, New Jersey's past is rich with stories to tell. This is evident in the historic homes, landscapes and battlefields where Washington and the Continental Army spent almost half of the American Revolutionary War. Find it all here, on the official Web site of New Jersey's State Parks, Forests and Historic Sites.
