Swartswood State Park

Swartswood, NJ U.S.A.

The swimming area at Swartswood boasts safe, clean and clear water as a result of a model Watershed Management Program. For anglers, there is an abundance of large hold over brown trout and walleye.

An entry fee is charged from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend.

There is a mile-long wheelchair-accessible trail.

The park, which covers 2,272 acres, offers several hiking trails and 65 tent and trailer sites with a fire ring, picnic table and lantern holder.
