Description
Turkey Swamp Park is a 1,180-acre park located in Freehold Township, New Jersey on the northern fringe of the Pine Barrens. The chief attraction of this park is the seventeen-acre lake. The park features miles of trails, an archery range, an array of playgrounds, two soccer fields, and various picnic grounds. A section of the park contains a seasonal campground with electric & water hook-ups. During the appropriate season, canoes, paddleboats, kayaks, and rowboats may be rented. During the winter season, as the massive lake freezes over, ice-skating is available for park visitors. [1]
