Originally a cranberry farm and packing plant, the former company town called Double Trouble is a window into the past and current industries in the Pinelands. The Double Trouble Company was formed to sell timber, millwork products, and cranberries. A succession of sawmills has been on site since the mid-1700s. The park features over 5,000 acres of Pine Barrens habitats. Cedar Creek, which runs through Double Trouble, provides the water required for cranberry culture and supplies a pure source of water for wildlife. The creek is an excellent stream for canoeing and for catching glimpses of otters, beavers, bluebirds and deer. Adjacent bogs and uplands provide examples of Pine Barrens plants. Located in Lacey and Berkeley Townships, south of Toms River.
