List of New Jersey state parks

This is a list of state parks, forests, and historic sites in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The state park system comprises 430,928 acres (1,743.90 km2)—roughly 7.7% of New Jersey's land area—and serves over 17.8 million annual visitors.

The New Jersey State Parks unit of the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, established in 1923, manages over 50 protected areas designated as state parks, state forests, recreation areas, and other properties. The agency also owns and manages 38 historical sites (some located within the boundaries of state parkland), five public marinas, and four public golf courses. New Jersey's state park system includes properties as small as the 32-acre (0.13 km2) Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and as large as the 115,000-acre (470 km2) Wharton State Forest.
