Cheesequake State Park’s uniqueness lies in its geographical location. Not only is it situated in the middle of the urban north and the suburban south, it lies in a transitional zone between two different ecosystems. Open fields, saltwater and freshwater marshes, a white cedar swamp, Pine Barrens, and a northeastern hardwood forest are the main characteristics of the park. There are five designated trails at the park. Spring and summer are the seasons for viewing the magnificent selection of wildflowers located along the trails of Cheesequake State Park. The park contains a vast array of wildflowers, which are easily viewed from the various hiking or walking trails.
The six-acre Hooks Creek Lake offers an opportunity for freshwater fishing. Crabbing is also available from the Crabbing Bridge which is reachable from the lake parking area. Swimming is permitted in Hooks Creek Lake.
Several picnic areas with table and grills are located throughout the Park.
Swimming: Swimming is permitted in Hooks Creek Lake from Memorial day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Fishing and Hunting: The six-acre Hooks Creek Lake offers an opportunity for freshwater fishing.
