| State Park Overview: |
 | Allaire State Park is probably best known for its historic 19th-century ironmaking town, Allaire Village, and its antique steam trains on the Pine Creek Railroad. The Manasquan River, which winds through the park, attracts canoeists and fishermen. The river?s floodplain provides habitat for over 200 species of wildflowers, trees and plants as well as habitat for birds and other wildlife. Hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders enjoy the many trails in the park. |

A little of everything Old style!
Park has a wide assortment from the old iron forge village to 2 types of bike riding. (Paved flat trail and mountain trails) Also has a train ride that is a great way for the kids to see Santa for Christmas.
